What do you mean by not being able to use a notetaker?

I don't have any technology, besides Jaws.
I use my Perkins Brailler, to take notes, from recordings that I
record in classes.
I hate not being able to use a notetaker!
My Braille skills are great, though.
I don't have as much access to Braille, outside of NLS.
I'm going to resubscribe to the Braille Monitor, (the Braille edition.)
Blessings, Joshua
