Even though I studied in an Integrated school, we were not having a computer teacher who know screen reading software. So this NVDA computer course specially on the vacation time really encouraged my intrest in computer and I agree that I will do enough practise in my laptop given by our panchayath and want to write my examination using computers.

Mr. Reshma Dileep, Nairserry House, Natika P.O., Thrisurr District. Phone: 8086143177

Student

This year after my first exam for my Plus 2, I could not hold my tears, since the scribe given by the school was bad and even she refuse to write what I asked for. So I think this time I can't get A+ like what I got in 10th standard. When I called Ram Kamal sir, after the first exam, he told me that, this is teh last year I should use scribe and he promised me to teach computer serious, so that I can write my exams using computer. After this course in NVDA dn specially with Espeak Malayalam I am confident that I can work with computers confident.
