T. V. Raman (born May 4, 1965) is a computer scientist who specializes in accessibility research.〔Gibbs, W.W. (1996) ''Profile: T. V. Raman – Envisioning Speech'', Scientific American 275(3), 52-54.〕 His research interests are primarily in the areas of auditory user interfaces and structured electronic documents. He has worked on speech interaction and markup technologies in the context of the World Wide Web at Digital's Cambridge Research Lab (CRL), Adobe Systems and IBM Research.〔 He currently works at Google Research.〔 Raman has himself been partially sighted since birth, and blind since the age of 14.〔〔 He grew up in Pune, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PCD Seminar 10/28/94 T.V. Raman )〕 Raman became blind at the age of 14 due to glaucoma,〔 being previously partially sighted〔 and able to see with his left eye.〔 To deal with his blindness he had his brother, his mentors, and his aide read out textbooks and problems to him. Although unable to see, he was able to solve Rubik's Cube with a braille version,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Watch Blind Man Solve Rubik's Cube )〕 write computer programs, and perform mathematics.〔 (personal archive copy)〕 Raman attended the University of Pune with a BA in mathematics, IIT Bombay with a MSc in computer science, and Cornell University earning a MS in computer science and a PhD in applied mathematics. His PhD thesis entitled "Audio System For Technical Readings (AsTeR)"〔("Audio System For Technical Readings ) (AsTeR)"]. Cornell University PhD Thesis.〕 was awarded the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award in 1994.〔 Recently Raman has incorporated these features in the Chrome browser.〔("T.V. Raman’s Audio Deja Vu: From Google, a Math-Reading System for the web" )〕 Raman went on to apply the ideas on audio formatting introduced in AsTeR to the more general domain of computer interfaces Emacspeak. On April 12, 1999, Emacspeak became part of the Smithsonian's Permanent Research Collection on Information Technology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. In 2005 he began work at Google.〔 == Work == * (AsTeR ) – Audio System For Technical Readings * Aural CSS – producing rich auditory presentations from Web content * Emacspeak – the complete audio desktop * XForms – Next Generation Web Forms * XML Events – A reusable eventing syntax for XML * XHTML+Voice – Enabling the multimodal Web via voice interaction * (RDC ) – Reusable Dialog Components * (AxsJAX ) – Access Enabling AJAX * (Google Accessible Search ) – for finding accessible Web content * (Thinking Of Mathematics ) – Thinking Of Mathematics—An Essay on Eyes-Free Computing * (Eyes-Free ) – Speech enabled Google Android applications. * (ChromeVox ) – Screen reader from Google Chrome and Google Chrome OS 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「T.
