If you have documented dyslexia or other forms of learning disabilities, you can apply for permission to use the software tool Lingdys during written examinations.
Lingdys is a reading and writing tool designed to help people with dyslexia or other forms of learning disabilities. It contains dictionaries in Norwegian Bokmal, Norwegian Nynorsk and English as well as speech synthesis to read out written text. Speech synthesis is software that decodes digital text and read it out loud. Lingdys4 also contains Lingright (English dictionary).
Students who are granted permission to use Lingdys during written examinations will be provided with a computer with the Lingdys program installed. Contact an invigilator when you arrive at the examination venue.
Applications concerning adaptation for learning disabilities (dyslexia) must be supported by documentation in the form of a certificate from a speech therapist/the educational and psychological counselling service (PPT). Such documentation cannot be older than from lower secondary school.
