Education sectors use emergency tele-learning, online learning platforms to persist in this circumstance and exams are conducted as online exams. This research highly focused on visually impaired students who are unable to read the questions displayed on the computer screen in this online examination system. They missed their braille system which is more familiar to read and write more easily. This is high time to build a proper voice-based online examination system for visually impaired students. This system should read the question that is displayed on the screen and obtain the student's response via voice commands. It can only lead students through the online exam using voice, and students can only provide the system answers and navigation orders using voice. The proposed system major goals are to read questions to students, obtain answers from them and effectively navigate students through the system using voice instructions. It builds a comfortable environment for the visually impaired students to write the exam and it helps to improve their personality when they are facing the exam.
