On this date in 1878 Leon Scott ordered his work to be burned. Fortunately the people around him ignored the request. Leon invented sound recording in 1850—but was called a charlatan & heretic. This is his story—it should be taught in grade schools. http://qr.ae/TW7tOV

This is Leon Scott’s 1850 voice preserved for 2019 to rediscover. His Phonoautograph was an astonishing invention. He actually understood in 1850 that someday not only the sound but speech-to-text would result from his technology. Thank you Leon.https://youtu.be/Kjg2sp4elnI
