There are some pertinent problem while we advocate PC solutions to scribe issues.
First, many Visually Impaired pass school exam through open schooling due to their age related issues. They do not have proper schooling. Many of them go to such institutions for their basic education which can hardly called schools. Most of the schools (mostly private residential schools) in U. P. Bihar etc do not have enough computers and students do not learn basics of PC. In short, only urban elites are able to learn computer basics at school levels. In such scenario, I think, it is not possible to provide computer solutions to those who do not know how to operate them.

The solution to that problem is dead simple. Schools, NGOS or other organizations which teach computing to visually challenged people include NVDA in their training/teaching curricular as a mandatory component. And yes, this will improve many things fundamentally since people will have to get a good grip on screen readers which will be very useful for them in near future.

The point he highlighted was that we have multiple screen readers, and their respective settings. It may happen that our preferred screen reader is not there, the settings cannot be changed, or any last minute technical glitch with the system, inaccessible platform, among others. While it sounds like the best solution on using one's own system, it might not be as easy as using screen readers on a totally alien system in an exam centre. A technical issue, few mins wasted, and the candidate will be having a whole mental toll. PS - I am not discouraging or against the use of screen readers for exams, but bringing a point which is often not discussed. And the screen reader grass might not be always green.
