    SOFTWARE CREATED BY Intel was instrumental in giving Stephen Hawking a voice. Now, the company has  released this same softwareunder a free software license.

    The development of the platform, called ACAT for "assistive context-aware toolkit," was detailed in a WIRED story earlier this year. It's a system that makes computers more accessible to people with disabilities. And now that the source code for this toolkit is open, it means you can build a system very similar to the one Professor Hawking uses to input text, send commands to applications, and communicate with the world.
