Go to

Look for notetakers. I'd try to see if you could find someone you know who
has a notetaker who could show you how to use it.

I'm wondering if you or someone could be more specific about the brand and
or the actual name. Also, a website address would be helpful.

Then how about one where you in-put Braille and get speech out from the
