ComputerssL. The machine's limited memory may be its major drawback. Containing 600 words, the memory can store only a certain amount of information before throwing out the material at the beginning. However, the user can control a scanner to go further backward or forward than the memory to solve the problem. RAY KURZWEIL developed the machine in 1974. At that point it could read only the typeface on his personal typewriter. Thp mnrhine has advanced to read multiple type faces, which Swope said is "incredible." Swope was offered the opportunity to be USC's representative to learn the machine and train others on it. "I was really happy to do it," she said. USCJ was one 01 zuu concges ana universities that received the Kurzweil machine as a gift from Xerox. CRITERIA FOR RECEIVING the machine were based on the number of blind students in the school, the existence of a blind student program at the school and an accessible place to put the machine. USC has a room in the education area of the library with a braille writer, some braille material and a few cassettes. The machine was placed in a room next door. Included with the gift of the machine, valued at $129,800, is free maintenance i or one year ana training ai uuuuuusc for staff members. Four USC students have been selected to learn the machine. Swope estimates it will take about 10 hours for a blind person to learn how to use it. She said training will probably start in May.
