[blindLaw] Note-taking in Courtrooms

[Audrey Farnum]

I agree with Brian that a slate and stylus is a great option if you’re fast enough with it. I’m not that fast so I use the text editor on  a Braille display in the courtroom For notes on the fly. I recently got a Mantis Q40 and it’s really been working well with  my workflow.
