[Nfb-science] Nfb-science Digest, Vol 69, Issue 1

[Nikhil Dama]

Hi,

I am planning on doing a lot of math and science classes in college. I
was wondering what is the best way for blind people to tkae notes in
these classes. SOmeone suggested to me to record the classes, but I do
not like this idea, This is because the teachers might not be
discriptive, and it takes a lot of time to relisten to lecture. Where
as, if I had notes then I could look over them quickly. What is the
best way for me to take notes? I was thinking about a software that
would convert handwriting into type. I was think that a person could
take the notes for me and I could convert them into a format that I
could read. I would appreciate if someone could give me help with my
problem.

Thanks,
Nick Dama
