Hi, Rose. I took notes using taped lectures sometimes, too, when I first
started into college, but that never worked very well for me because of my
hearing impairment. I had a history teacher once who agreed to keep my tape
recorder up with her and that greatly improved the recording quality so that
I could usually do pretty well with my notes in her class, but I wasn't so
fortunate with other teachers, and having to go back and listen to the
lectures again to take better notes was definitely a chore! Take care.

I take notes on the computer, or on the Braille note, but in school I
used a braille writer in college a slate and stylus--albeit not very
well. I taped sometimes too, but I hated going back through those
tapes time and time again so I developed my brain, managed to
reconstruct lectures based on a key word here and there. I might manage
a half a page of words note-taking and be able to nearly but not quite
parrot back a lecture.
I wish I'd had today's technology 30 years ago.

That brings to my mind a question: do braille users
who are blind from birth learn to write and do you
take notes in Braille or do you write longhand? What
do those of you who became blind after being sighted
do?
I hope this isn't too personal a question. If so,
please forgive me.
