Inclusive education in Malaysia requires assistive technologies for students with visual impairments. This PRISMA guided systematic literature review (SLR) examines the use of screen readers (JAWS, NVDA), smart Braille displays and embossers, and voice based tools such as Seeing AI. Searches were conducted in Google Scholar, Web of Science and ScienceDirect Scopus. Thirty studies were identified and fifteen met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis highlights key constraints, including limited school digital infrastructure, insufficient teacher training and high device costs, with challenges more evident during and after COVID-19. The review recommends systematic deployment of voice based assistive tools, continuous professional development for teachers and stronger public private partnerships to widen access and improve learning outcomes in Malaysia.

Abstrak
Pendidikan inklusif di Malaysia memerlukan teknologi bantu bagi murid berketidakupayaan penglihatan. Kajian ini melaksanakan Tinjauan Literatur Sistematik (SLR) berasaskan PRISMA untuk menilai penggunaan pembaca skrin (JAWS, NVDA), paparan serta embosser Braille pintar dan aplikasi suara seperti Seeing AI. Carian dibuat dalam Google Scholar, Web of Science dan ScienceDirect Scopus. Sebanyak 30 kajian dikenal pasti dan 15 dipilih mengikut kriteria inklusi. Sintesis mendapati halangan utama meliputi infrastruktur digital sekolah yang terhad, latihan guru yang tidak mencukupi serta kos peralatan yang tinggi, dengan cabaran lebih ketara semasa dan selepas COVID-19. Kajian mencadangkan peluasan alat suara bantu, latihan berterusan untuk guru dan kerjasama antara sektor awam dan swasta bagi meningkatkan akses serta pencapaian murid.
