Digital Handwritten Notes. it sounds like an oxymoron...kind of like a hairy
bald guy, but it is here.

The writing surface is about the size of a small piece of paper. The whole
board is light and easy to carry and about the size of an 8x11 piece of
paper. It is a tiny computer and you can add more RAM- with a memory card. 

The blind student can take the digital note-taking device to a class where
the teacher is very driven by writing on the board. The blind student hands
it to a sighted student and she takes notes on it. At the end of class, the
sighted student rips off the pages for themself and hands the board back to
the blind student. The blind student can then download all the notes onto
the computer. In tangent with this is a handwriting recognition tool, which
translates the handwriting into digital text that talking software can read.
Note taking made easy.

This is the one I have been using and as long as the handwritten notes are
legible, the pad can read it to the computer.
