Case Study: Lighthouse For The Blind Creates Jobs With Speech Data Collection Technology

For more than 100 years, Lighthouse for the Blind has helped people who are blind or partially sighted overcome the challenges of vision loss. Promoting independence, equality and self-reliance through rehabilitation training and relevant services, the organization's primary mission is to create jobs for the blind. The Lighthouse's 25,000 square-foot St. Louis packing facility and its employees fulfill this mission by assembling large medical kits for the U.S. government, shipping hundreds of kits each year.

Although much of the work at the Lighthouse St. Louis facility was being performed by blind employees, many of the assembly tasks critical to the organization's product could not be accomplished by the blind – they could not pick products, perform materials handling tasks or prepare or move items for the kits.
