<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
