Education / Pedagogy / general | | English term or phrase: scriber (test scriber) | | Testing: extended time for examination, use of spell check device, test scriber, reader for tests. Bueno, sigo con los exámenes para discapacitados y busque scriber pero no entiendo para que necesita un elemento así en clase, tiene algún otro significado, yo veo que es como una lapicera pero con punta de metal pero para que sirve en un examen? Mil gracias. |

| | escritor (= writer) | Explanation:
This word is most often used in technology to indicate a person who engraves ("graba") designs, words, letters, etc, in metal. However, the sense is clear: It is someone who *writes* the answers to exam questions for a person who is blind or otherwise handicapped in such a way that they cannot write. (Compare the noun "scribe".)

"Scriber" may be an abbreviated form of "transciber", of which "scribe" is clearly the root. |
