I can hear the “h” when Jane pronounces “ho” and “hai”. My text books say that “h” is not pronunced in Italian and is only a spelling convention. I don’t hear it on other Italian recordings. Is this Jane’s Italian dialect?

As a general rule, the “h” in Italian is silent. Still, sometimes you may hear it - especially in the everyday use of the language, particularly from north-eastern Italians, when the language is spoken at a very slow speed, like in this episode.

That is not really considered dialect, but a characteristic of the spoken language.
