For schools
When reading is the barrier, knowledge shouldn't be. If your school already grants a reader as an exam concession, this is built for exactly that situation.

Who it is for
Exam Reader may be suitable for learners who have an approved reader accommodation and experience barriers when accessing written assessment material. It can support learners who struggle with reading due to a range of learning needs.
Every learner deserves the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge.
Exam Reader is a reading tool. It does not grant a reader accommodation. Schools remain responsible for following their own concession process and the rules of the relevant examining body.
What it changes for staff
It doesn't replace supervision. It replaces the reading.
| Human reader | Requires a staff member. Reading can vary. The learner must ask for repetition. Staff stay tied up for the sitting. |
| Exam Reader | The learner works independently, hears consistent reading of the approved text, and can replay a question without waiting. No reader is needed throughout the exam. |
| What does not change | A human still prepares and approves the paper, and a human still invigilates. The concession process at your school is unchanged. |
Built for South African schools
Exam Reader was designed with the realities of South African assessment environments in mind: English and Afrikaans support, South African voices, offline operation, school-hosted deployment, and teacher-controlled approval for Grades 4–12.
Not just a reading tool. A school-based assessment solution.
Your learner data stays at school
Learner information, exam papers, approved content and generated audio remain within your school's system rather than being stored in a public cloud service. No learner accounts in the cloud. No internet required during the exam.
