Notetaking: electronic and manual (NRCPD Registered)

Electronic notetaking

Electronic notetakers operate in a similar fashion to STTRs working from spoken English into English text; however, they will use a lap-top computer with a number of remote monitors for individuals to access the main points of the message. This method is not verbatim and is predominantly used in educational settings: users can be given an electronic copy of the notes produced.

Manual notetaking

Manual notetakers perform much the same role as electronic note taking only they make paper based notes of lectures, meetings etc. and can also provide a live reference of what is being said.
