eLocutor
During a tour to India in 2001,[2][3] Stephen Hawking delivered a lecture in an international physics conference dedicated to String theory held at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai.[4] It was during this time, Hawking, suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, contacted Mehta and Crishna[5] along with several other software companies to write the replacement for the software he was using for the computerised machine fixed to his wheelchair, and to communicate with others.[6] Mehta and Crishna developed eLocutor, a free and open source single-button typing and speaking software.[7][8][9]
