Raymond Kurzweil is an inventor who has made several advances in educational technology. He has created pattern-recognition-based computer technologies. These help people with disabilities such as blindness, dyslexia and ADD. His text-to-speech convertor allows deaf or hearing-impaired users to use computers by enabling the computer to read elecronic and scanned text. His inventions have given users with disabilities the opportunity to learn.
Mark Gedlinske, Doyle Kirkeby, and Michelle Edenborg created the machine-readable identifiers for standardized tests. The identifiers process higher priority tests first, followed by lower priority tests. This invention has saved a lot of time, allowing a larger group to be tested and their results to be processed quickly.
