The Visible Speech is a phonetic alphabet invented by Alexander Melville Bell (father of Alexander Graham Bell). Bell was a teacher of the deaf, and this alphabet was intended as an aid to teaching the deaf how to pronounce words, by reducing sounds to a supposedly unambiguous representation.

The bundle contains fonts (as Metafont source), macros for their use, and some descriptive documents (as Plain TeX).
