[nabs-l] Note takers

[Ignasi Cambra]

I agree. I would even say that these days an iPhone or iPod touch ends up being a great notetaker. As of iOS 4.1 you can control VoiceOver from the keyboard if you need to, just like you would do on a regular Macintosh. I use a very tiny foldable bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone to take notes, and it works very, very well. I can use the thing to take notes in class, browse the internet wherever I am (and it's fast...), check my email, play games etc. I've use several blindness specific notetakers in the past and nothing is as good as this. Of course if I ever find something that I like better and I can afford to buy it, I will. But my iPhone and little keyboard for whenever I need to type for a long time are working very well right now.

What types of note takers do you guys use, How much does it caust, and does it live up to what is advertised concerning it? I'm not shure wheather or not to get a packmate, a braille note, or a braille sence. I'm on disability, due to some other disabililities I have. I'm also in a distance learning Seminary, going for my doctorate degree in theology. I'm not shure how I can purchose a note taker, due to the fact, I have alot of bills to pay. Would my local lions club be able to assist me in this reguard? RJ
