Libretta Reading Technologies, Inc. was created in the fall of 2000 by InfoScope® Partners, Inc. The principals of InfoScope®, a business research firm in Houston, had become increasingly aware of the literacy problems in today's society. Their interest in improving the reading experience led to the Libretta concept. The management team has developed several techniques to improve the reading experience and in the process has formed partnerships with several other companies that specialize in this area. In the short time since Libretta was created, the company has developed a relationship with producers of several electronic reading devices as well as a local center that specializes in helping adults and children with learning disorders. The Libretta management team has a varied background. The team includes individuals with degrees in English, history, management, economics and marketing. Several members of the executive group have backgrounds in launching and developing new companies. Libretta encourages all members of the management and staff to take active roles in community leadership.
