If possible, try if you can pick up a Bluetooth keyboard from somewhere and
take notes and save them inside your mobile phone

Subject: [AI] Tips Needed: Taking Notes

Dear List Members,

Before I begin my querry for the tip I would like to inform you that I am
not brail litterate and don't see a possibility that I would learn it in the
near future. Kindly save your critisism on the same, as it is a
pshycological and mental block for me at the time.

I seek your tips and suggestions on how to be able to take down notes in a
senario where a computer is not accessible to me physically. My focus group
and audience from who I need ideas and tips are the visually impaired
community. What I believe can be done is as follows:

1. Use your mobile phone's sound recorder to capture the minutes of a
meeting, an important lecture or something of grave importance. This is not
always a feasible idea, as sometimes you are restricted by policies, while
the other times the person delivering the lecture, meeting etc. may not be
comfortable with their voice being recorded.

2. Have the notes, lecture, minutes of the meeting recorded by an assistant,
colleague, friend etc. on a notepad then have them or someone else convert
them into a digital format for you. Again this method also has restrictions,
availability of assistance is questionable, so is the time taken to work
around the process from the recording to the digitalisation of the notes...

I know this is a catch 22 situation for most of us in the visually impaired
community, I am looking for ideas outside the box and not trying to focus on
the limitations or feasibility of an idea that can add on to what I have
already covered above. So, kindly work your grey cells and shoot interesting
and innovative ways and ideas to help accomplish the task of taking notes on
the go!
