Of course, it is a positive step. But I think, for public exams where only
multiple choice questions have to be ansered, Braille is the best option for
those who know it. I appeared at the SSC exam in 1988 where I was supplied
questions in Braille, grade 1 english and Hindi. I had to tick mark the
correct answers with the help of a sketch pen.
This is not possible for the board exams. But for other competitive exams, I
think, we should demand Braille questions. It will save us the harassment of
finding a scribe and we can attend the exam much better.
With best regards,

IN my views, allowing recording answers is surely a welcome move due to
which dependency on writer would surely be reduced. However this could
further complex the writing skills of VI individuals. Due to just
recording the answers spellings would further become week. No doubt, this
could surely looked as positive move as now writer would not decide what
to write and certainly VI would able to claim everything as per his/her
ability rather then keep on putting every thing on writers.

Times of India:
Blind students can 'record' board exam answers on tape recorder
Abhishek Choudhari
| TNN | Jan 9, 2016, 04.24 PM IST
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.
