Alexander Melville Bell

Alexander Melville Bell (1819–1905) was a Scottish teacher, researcher, and author specializing in physiological phonetics, orthoepy, and elocution. He invented Visible Speech, a system of graphic symbols representing speech sounds to help the deaf learn to speak, and was the father of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell. After teaching in Scotland and Canada, he moved to Washington, D.C., in 1881 to focus on educating the deaf.
