Comparison:

Comparatively, the Namo-Tab can be considered as more convenient than the DELL software; since the tab is user friendly. The learner is not bound by any restriction of time or place when it comes to language learning through Namo-Tab. Neither is there any barrier of the condition of the digital tools. The language lab software in the Namo-Tab appears to be well updated than that of the DELL monitor. As far as the speaking skills are considered though, the DELL software has an advantage over Namo-Tab. DELL software allows the learner to practically test their speaking skills, whereas in the Namo-Tab the learners can only listen to the correct pronunciations and cannot practically test them
