It depends on how you define note taker. A 7 year old can type Braille into it and use it as a display. It can display and edit text files but it does not translate. If you are reading a text file, it will be in computer braille, adding another code to the learning process. That also means a teacher would have to make sure files are brf or learn computer Braille.
