A note-taker works with deaf people who are comfortable reading English. Note-takers are trained to take notes for deaf people in meetings, on courses, or at other events. Note-takers can be flexible and will write notes in a way that suits you. If they are writing notes by hand, it may take you a bit of time to get used to their handwriting. Electronic note-taking is a communication service in which an operator produces a typed summary of a meeting, lecture or presentation for a deaf or hard of hearing person. Electronic note-takers use special software to provide comprehensive notes for deaf people.
