As far as I know, Ray Kurzweil developed the OCR and synthetic speech in
1978. It was the first attempt to use computer technology for the blind
people. Jaws was developed by Ted Henter, the founder of Henter Joyce Inc.
He was an engineer. He lost his sight in an accident. Then he devoted his
time and energy to the development of a software programme for accessing the
text on the computer screen.

Subject: [AI] Bicentenial anniversery of Louis Braille's birth
Hello Friends,
This is the bicentenial year of Louis Braille. I consider him nothing
less than our God. We become literate with the help of this Braille script
and the path of our development is paved. We are unable to be grateful
enough to him our his great gift of his to the whole blind community of
the world. Let us not forget him as his two-hundredth birth anniversity is
fast approaching.
Friends, we definitely pay tribute to Louis Braille. But my question is:
who is the Louis Braille of the modern world? I mean who is the inventor
of JAWS? Or, who was the first person who thought of making a screen
reader for the blind- JAWS or whichever was the first screen reader
software?
I expect the answer from the honorable and knowledgeable members.?
