Ray Kurzweil has been described as a "restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal newspaper, and an "ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes Magazine. A leading inventor of our generation, he was the principal creator of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, first omni-font optical character recognition, first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, first text-to-speech synthesizer, first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Ray Kurzweil comes to Vegas as a part of the Audi Speaker Series, discussing his latest book, "How to Create a Mind, The Secret of Human Thought Revealed."
