I have a patent pending on a process to make documents, websites, forms, etc., accessible to the blind which works in most languages and I have laid it out to work in about 200 languages so far covering about 6.34 billion people. The software to run this is free to the end user and I designed this to work with free screen readers. The American Foundation for the blind is testing it now.
Last year I made the National Voter Registration form accessible to the blind and I sent it to the American Foundation for the Blind and the Vice President of the American Association of People with Disabilities presented it to the Elections Assistance Commission, part of the Federal Elections commission. But it did not have my special ingredient and so I now have a patent pending on my process.
When I was at Trinity I had tunnel vision, which was progressively getting worse and then suddenly most of it came back, so I have the experience of a blind man and yet was able to look at the software and determine where the mistakes were taking place.
This process will preserve culture and enhance literacy as well as help the blind. I plan to lay it out in many languages. I have most of them done! All you need is love!

Olive Elaine Hinnant, Class of 1984

Life in Santa Fe, NM is beautiful at 7,000 feet in the soft mountain range known as the Sangre de Christe. After three years here, I am realizing that for me, living in beauty and light is my life. Like many Trinity grads, I thought my profession was the most important thing and that to be successful meant "doing something in the world" or "making money". However, my path has been different. I am parenting a 2 and nine month old son named Carlos, who is originally from Guatemala. Occasionally, I write for various religious commentaries, I teach at the College of Santa Fe and tutor young ones in writing skills. If there are any other Trinity grads in the area, please contact me.
