Arkenstone, founded in 1989 by Jim Fruchterman was known for producing page scanning software to permit blind people to read print books and documents through voice synthesizers and braille displays.
Arkenstone’s business assets and name were sold to the for-profit firm Freedom Scientific in April 2000, and the nonprofit changed its name to Benetech, which is now based in Palo Alto, California.
