[Nfb-krafters-korner] comments on I phones and note takers

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I was a secretary for Chapter, affiliate, divisions in the past and let me  
tell you I hated and loved to record meetings.  I loved the fact I could  
participate in a meeting and listen to what folks were saying without typing 
and  just recording.  I hated that I had to later listen to the entire 
meeting  over to transcribe it.  I loved to listen and transcribe closer to the 
new  meeting as then it was fresh in my mind and I could be on top of things  
reminding the President of the last meeting.  The president wasn't happy if 
 I waited to close to the next meeting as then they forgot what went on at 
the  last meeting.

Hi Jean,  I think that the only way to take notes by picking up something 
and  
writing with it would have to be the slate and styless. Recording and  
writing down notes from the recordings at a later time is still a good  
option. You can get a recorder for a much better price than you can with  
those note takers.
