Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to develop
VISOS, an online computer-based testing platform for
the examination of the visually impaired in Nigeria. The
visually impaired have not been so fortunate to be
reaping the benefits that come with the utilization of
computer-based testing for examination in Africa and
Nigeria. The mode of doing their exam has always been
paper and pencil with the help of a scribe or examiner
reading to them and helping them to put down their
responses or the students put it down via typewriter and
braille. Many pieces of literature were reviewed but
narrowed down to a few contributions in Africa and
Nigeria. Incorporated into VISOS are Voice recognition
and Text-to-speech technology which aid the visually
impaired to do the exam on their own without any
assistance. An earpiece and the activated microphone of
the engaged computer are needed for quality interaction.
