Everything you need to use Suomoto effectively — from signing in for the first time to taking a full mock test, all through voice and keyboard.
1. Overview and Getting Started
What is Suomoto?
Suomoto is India's first fully audio-guided, keyboard-driven learning platform for Visually Impaired and PwBD aspirants preparing for SSC, IBPS, banking, and government competitive exams. Every feature works through voice and keyboard — no mouse, no sighted help required.
The platform is built around the 4PI Model: Prepare → Practise → Progress → Perform — all Independently.
Signing In

Visit suomoto.academy in your browser. You will hear a welcome message from Suo or Moto.
Press S to Sign In
Press the S key to open Google Sign-In. No password needed — only a Google account. Progress is saved automatically.
Hear Your Welcome
After signing in, you will hear a personalised welcome. Press H anytime to hear all shortcuts for the current screen.
Good to know
The About SuoMoto and User Guide pages are accessible without signing in. You can read both before creating an account.

4. How to Use: Prepare
Prepare is where you build your concepts — phase by phase, topic by topic. All content is audio-guided. Suo will walk you through every slide.
Open Prepare
Press Alt+P from anywhere, or click the Prepare card on the Home page.
Select Your Subject
Choose from: Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English, General Awareness.
Choose a Chapter
Chapters are organised phase-wise — Basic to Advanced. Start from Phase 1 if you are beginning fresh.
Select a Topic or Simulator
Some topics have interactive simulators (BODMAS, Mental Addition, Tables, Approximation). Simulators are the most immersive way to learn.
Move Through Concept Slides
Each slide is read aloud automatically. Press Right Arrow or Space to advance. Press Left Arrow or P to go back. You control the pace.
Begin the Assessment
At the last slide, press Right Arrow or Space to begin the topic assessment.
The No Pen-and-Paper Approach
Every module teaches you to solve problems in your head — using mental tricks, Vedic math, and patterns. This is intentional and is your greatest advantage:
- →Visually Impaired aspirants have naturally stronger memory skills — Suomoto builds on this.
- →Mental methods build speed and accuracy that pen-dependent methods cannot.
- →In the actual exam using a screen reader, you will not have pen and paper — Suomoto trains you for exactly that situation.
5. How to Use: Practise
Practise is where concepts become speed and accuracy. Every wrong answer is explained immediately — whether right or wrong, you always learn something.
Open Practise
Press Alt+T from anywhere, or click the Practise card on the Home page.
Choose Subject and Topic
Select the subject and the specific topic you want to practise.
Choose Difficulty
Easy → Medium → Hard. Always complete Easy before moving to Medium for any new topic.
Answer Each Question
Press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select. Press Enter to confirm. The explanation is spoken immediately — listen even when correct, it often contains a faster trick.
Move Forward
Press N for next question. Press R to repeat the current question.
Practise Tips
- →Do at least 20 Easy questions on a topic before moving to Medium.
- →Listen to every explanation — the trick it contains often saves minutes per question.
- →Your accuracy per topic is saved automatically to your Progress dashboard.
- →If accuracy on a topic falls below 70%, Suomoto adds extra practise in your weekly schedule.
6. How to Use: Progress
Progress is your personal performance command centre. Everything you have studied is measured, tracked, and used to make your next session smarter.
What the Dashboard Shows
Setting Up Your Exam Preference
The most important personalisation step. Go to Profile (Alt+U) and:
Select Your Target Exam

Set Your Target Exam Date
Suomoto uses this to calibrate how intensive your schedule should be.
Your Schedule is Generated
A week-by-week plan, updated automatically every week based on your progress.
On Notifications
All exam notifications are on the Exam Updates page. Your preferred exam is highlighted automatically — so you never miss what matters most to you.
7. How to Use: Perform
Perform is where you test yourself under real exam conditions — 100 questions, 60 minutes, −0.5 negative marking. Treat every mock test as the real exam.
Open Perform
Press Alt+M from anywhere, or click the Perform card on the Home page.
Choose Mock Test or PYQ
Select a full mock test or a Previous Year Question paper. Moto will brief you on the rules.

Moto announces your result: total score, accuracy, and time taken. Saved to your Progress dashboard.
Mock Test Strategy Tips
- →Attempt Easy and Medium questions first — skip Hard and return if time allows.
- →Negative marking is −0.5 per wrong answer. Do not guess if you have no idea.
- →After each mock test, go to Practise and work specifically on topics where you lost the most marks.
- →Your mock test scores in the Progress dashboard show your improvement over time.

9. Screen Reader and Mobile Tips
Using Suomoto with Your Screen Reader
Suomoto works alongside JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (Mac/iOS), and TalkBack (Android).
Open Suomoto
Open the platform in your browser.
Press Alt + V
Mute Suomoto's embedded voice. Your screen reader now reads everything — all spoken announcements are mirrored into ARIA live regions.
NVDA / JAWS: Switch to Focus Mode
Single-key shortcuts (H, N, P, R, 1–4) need focus mode to reach Suomoto. In NVDA press NVDA+Space. In JAWS press Insert+Z to turn off the virtual cursor. In browse mode those keys are used by your screen reader for quick navigation instead.
Windows: Use Alt + Shift if Needed
On Windows, Chrome and Edge reserve Alt+D (address bar), Alt+E and Alt+F (browser menu). Every Suomoto Alt shortcut also works with Shift added — Alt+Shift+D opens the forum, Alt+Shift+F changes font size.
ARIA Labels
All buttons, cards, and interactive elements have ARIA labels. Your screen reader will announce them accurately.
Live Regions
Dynamic content — exam results, answer explanations, navigation announcements — uses ARIA live regions. Your screen reader picks them up automatically.
Mobile Usage
Use headphones for the clearest audio experience. On iPhone/iPad, VoiceOver and Suomoto work together — press Alt+V to choose who speaks.
Troubleshooting
No sound or voice not working
Press any key or tap the screen once — browsers require a user interaction before audio plays. Also check device volume and make sure the tab is not muted.
Double audio — screen reader and Suomoto both speaking
Press Alt+V to mute Suomoto. Your screen reader takes over completely.
Keyboard shortcuts not responding
Make sure a text input field is not focused. Click outside any input box and try again.
Progress not saving
