It wasn’t an accessibility tool first. TTY dates from the mid-19th century.
Paul Taylor’s innovations were to use the technology to provide telecommunications for the deaf, and then lobby for the creation of the operator relay system enabling TTY users to communicate with people who didn’t have a TTY. The machines already existed.
