 PROFILE
The latest of many companies founded by the legendary Ray Kurzweil and devoted to speech, music, and text recognition and conversion technology, Kurzweil Technologies is a developer of artificial intelligence technologies. Its FatKat unit employs pattern recognition technology designed to predict stock market behavior. Kurzweil Educational Systems helps people with reading disabilities, an interest that dates to Kurzweil's invention of a text-to-speech reading machine for the blind. Kurzweil developed the first optical character recognition scanner (sold to Xerox), the first speech-to-text synthesizer (sold to Lernout & Hauspie), and an orchestral music synthesizer (sold to Young Chang).
