Exam Portal is an innovative, cost-effective, and locally developed text to speech (TTS) Windows-based program aimed at meeting the needs of learners with reading differences at home and at school.

- Promotes independence for learners with reading challenges enabling them to do their own reading related tasks at their own time and pace.
- Schools/learners have the option to select between male and female voice variants for each of the languages.
- Reading speed can be slowed down or sped up according to the learners’ specific needs.
- Allows for typing out answers and notes in-program.
- Students with temporary or permanent physical incapacitation can use the highly accurate speech-to-text (dictation) supported feature for their notes, assessments, and exams.
- Teachers have the ability to create secure timed cycle tests and assessments and link them to specific students who require the relevant accommodation (reading, typing, extra time, etc)
- Exam Portal is approved for use during IEB and uMalusi NSC exams.
Many Exam Portal clients commend the user-friendliness of the program and how it has helped them overcome the inconvenience of having to accommodate learners with reading barriers in separate venues during assessments and exams.
