Description

Since 2003 Noel has been seriously studying and testing the accessibility and usability of all the major voting systems used in this country. He has worked with the Santa Clara County Voter Access Advisory Committee, ACCURATE advisory committee, voting rights advocates, and manufacturers to make voting systems more accessible for all folks with disabilities or special language needs.

After founding Personal Data Systems, Inc. to supply access technologies, he designed and manufactured the Audapter speech synthesizer, to enable computers to talk to visually impaired users. Noel also authored the EasyScan, BuckScan, and PicTac programs that made it easier for visually impaired users to read print books, identify dollar bills, and convert print pictures into raised line tactile drawings. To help their visually impaired customers access and make use of computer systems, Noel and his wife, Deborah, have personally built over 500 custom-integrated personal computers with speech, braille, and large print interfaces.
