August Dvorak (May 5, 1894 – October 9, 1975)[1][2] was an American educational psychologist and professor of education[3] at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.[4] He and his brother-in-law, William Dealey, are best known for creating the Dvorak keyboard layout in the 1930s as a replacement for the QWERTY keyboard layout.
While his name is pronounced [ˈdvor̝aːk], with the ř roughly as a simultaneous trilled [r] and [ʒ] due to him being of Czech descent, Dvorak's family in the U.S. pronounces it /ˈdvɔːræk/, with an English r.[5][6]
