Ted Henter

Ted HenterTED HENTER founded Henter-Joyce (now a division of Freedom Scientific) and began developing his first screen reader software that converts computer text to speech so people who are vision impaired can use a computer. In 1987, Mr. Henter and his new company invented JAWS, then a DOS based program and in 1995, he developed a Windows version of the product.

Today, JAWS for Windows is the world's best selling screen reading software, exceeding seventy-eight thousand users worldwide and growing. By allowing persons who are blind or with low vision achieve the same or higher productivity in computer-based jobs as sighted people, JAWS has increased employment and educational opportunities while helping employers meet requirements established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Henter-Joyce also developed other software products including MAGIC screen magnification and Connect Outloud Web access software.

Ted Henter has received numerous national honors, including the Smithsonian Institute Award for developing JAWS.
