Excerpt: The Dvorak Simplified Keyboard is a keyboard layout patented in 1936 by Dr. August Dvorak (pronounced ( listen) -ak) and his brother-in-law, Dr. William Dealey. Over the years several slight variations were designed by the team led by Dvorak or by ANSI. These variations have been collectively or individually also called the Simplified Keyboard or American Simplified Keyboard but they all have come to be commonly known as the Dvorak keyboard or Dvorak layout.
