Handwritten Notes</a> </h3>
<div>Digital Handwritten Notes. it sounds like an oxymoron...kind of like a
hairy bald guy, but it is here.<br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br>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. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SolidTek-DigiMemo-692-Digital-Notepad/dp/B0009OD4CS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316716386&sr=8-3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><font color="#473624">SolidTek DigiMemo 692 Digital Notepad with Memory by SolidTek
