It is equally challenging for teacher while checking different hand
writings.

One step towards independent exam system. But I believe it would be good
to provide options like use of computer or recording. Sensitising
examination authorities would also be needed to avoid bitter experience.
I see it may be a bit challenge for teachers during correction as accent
may vary.

Times of India:
Blind students can 'record' board exam answers on tape recorder

NAGPUR: Don't be surprised if during this summer's state board exam a
candidate asks the invigilator for additional 'cassette' instead of
additional supplement.
Students suffering from visual impairment (partial/full) can now record
their answers on tape recorder rather than taking help of a writer. This
new rule
is part of a slew of revolutionary changes brought in for special needs
students by state school education minister Vinod Tawde.
Speaking to TOI, Tawde said, "Visually impaired students can get the
questions read to them 20 minutes before the paper starts so that they can
get a feel
of things. Their answers will be recorded and the device will be sent
for evaluation in the same way we send the traditional answer sheets." For
all special
needs students the minister has offered other exam concessions, like 20
minutes extra time per exam hour, liberal evaluation, grace marks,
facility of
talking calculator, on-screen reading software (if available) etc.
Students suffering from cerebral palsy, autism, impairment of speech and
hearing, physical
disability, spastics, learning disorder etc are some who have been given
these examination concessions. Parents who have children with special
needs have
been advised to get in touch with their schools and local board office
for details.
