Can technology solve the scribe challenge?
Visually impaired people are known to use Braille script for reading and writing. They also use computers, smartphones, or other assistive devices for the same. In fact, many blind people don’t know Braille but they are well-versed with technology. But the general perception remains that a blind person cannot read or write in a mainstream format. Hence, there are provisions mandated by law to use a scribe to appear for examinations.

Guiding from lived experience
One of the challenges that comes with disability is coping with the social stigma around it. When a person is born without vision, a certain picture of reality sets in the minds of the people around him or her. Moreover, the person also accepts the state as it is, unaware of another mode of existence. But for someone who acquires disability at a later stage, struggles doubly to accept the new reality and admit it to the surrounding community. They often remain obsessed with ‘what was’.
