August Dvorak (May 5, 1894 – October 9, 1975)[1][2] was an American educational psychologist and professor of education[3] at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.[4] He and his brother-in-law, William Dealey, are best known for creating the Dvorak keyboard layout in the 1930s as a replacement for the QWERTY keyboard layout.
While his name is pronounced Шаблон:IPA-cs, with the ř roughly as a simultaneous trilled Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA due to his being of Czech descent, Dvorak's family in the U.S. pronounces it Шаблон:IPAc-en, with an English r.[5][6]
Keyboard development
In the 1940s, Dvorak designed keyboard layouts for people with the use of one hand.[7]
Dvorak and Dealey, together with Nellie Merrick and Gertrude Ford, wrote the book Typewriting Behavior, published in 1936. The book is an in-depth report on the psychology and physiology of typing.
Military service
Dvorak served with the American Army Field Artillery during the punitive expedition against Pancho Villa and was wounded during the campaign. Afterward he was discharged and enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve, teaching mathematics and navigation until World War I, during which he served aboard the captured German privateer USS Callao bringing troops home until his discharge in 1919.[8] Later, he was the captain of a Gato-class submarine in the United States Navy during World War II.Шаблон:R
Life and family
Dvorak is the uncle of columnist and broadcaster John C. Dvorak,[9] known for his work in the technology industry extending back to the 1980s.
Dr. August Dvorak died in Seattle on October 9, 1975.[1]
