Mick Curran and Jamie Teh met as kids at a music camp for the blind and bonded over a shared love of music and programming. Both are now software developers and musicians and have remained good friends. When they discovered that the high price of screen reader software was keeping many blind and low-vision people from finding jobs, they developed NVDA, or NonVisual Desktop Access, an open-source screen reader now used by over 250,000 people worldwide.
