Mit dem Optophone, das von dem Franzosen entwickelt wurde, begann die Entwicklung elektronischer Vorlesesysteme für Blinde. (de) The optophone is a device, used by the blind, that scans text and generates time-varying chords of tones to identify letters. It is one of the earliest known applications of sonification. Dr. Edmund Fournier d'Albe of Birmingham University invented the optophone in 1913, which used selenium photosensors to detect black print and convert it into an audible output which could be interpreted by a blind person. The Glasgow company, Barr and Stroud, participated in improving the resolution and usability of the instrument. Only a few units were built and reading was initially exceedingly slow; a demonstration at the 1918 Exhibition involved Mary Jameson reading at one word per minute. Later models of the Optophone allowed speeds of up to 60 words per minute, though only some subjects are able to achieve this rate. (en) L'optofono (in inglese optophone) è uno strumento in grado di convertire caratteri in suoni per le persone non vedenti. Fu inventato e realizzato per la prima volta nel 1912 dal fisico irlandese Edmund Edward Fournier d'Albe, all'epoca assistente e docente di fisica all'Università di Birmingham. (it) |
