Braille Note or other adapted laptop is a very quick note taker
talking software on computer and typing the notes in word
or digimemo where you hand a tablet to sighted person who takes notes on
the paper, hands back to you, you put it through handwriting software and
transfer to text for talking software--but I would not leave detail in
notes up to another person only, you would want to take own notes also----
use both
