I can't quite remember where I saw this. May be the UK series Database from 1984. They had a blind person there doing text processing with WordStar on an Osborne 1, using an input device I didn't understood how it works (no braille line that I am sure). He was able to move the cursor, write characters, find characters, replace them... Then he could make the Osborne 1 to speak out the text! Sounded a lot like Stephen_Hawking. Awesome! -- Andreas My random toughts and comments https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/2018/03/stephen-hawking-1942-2018.html
