This is JAWS (Job Access With Speech). It helps the blind to read and type. Ted Henter invented this resource at age 27 in 1987, with his company Freedom Sientific. He wanted to help others, as well as himself because he could not see after an auto accident. JAWS translates words into Braille or speech. Today JAWS is the best selling screen reading software with 78,000 users.
