Every person good at writing need not be so in talking and vice versa. Though confidence in speaking might not be a factor in evaluation, the fact that recording is going on might not be comfortable for everyone. Besides, I always feel evaluater knowing that the paper belongs to a visually impaired is not desirable. People tend to value performance of disabled a bit higher than that of non-disabled. But writing exam on computer also has this drawback.
As far as other add on benefits like liberal evaluation, grace marks are concerned, a strict no to them! The whole idea of enabling environment is lost with these activities.
