What is Electronic Notetaking? Electronic Notetaking is a form of communication support for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people who use English as their first language. This is provided by a qualified Electronic Notetaker (ENT) or Language Service Professional (LSP) and can be in a variety of situations, including conferences, university lectures, meetings, training courses, appointments at the hospital, GP surgery, bank - in fact on any occasion where you might need help because of your deafness.
How it works
Two laptops are linked together - one for the client and one for the notetaker. The notetaker types what is being said and the text instantly appears on the client's screen in any size and colour of font. * This enables the client to take part in the meeting.
The transcript is emailed to the client later, or printed off and sent if that is more suitable.
*The Electronic Notetaker Types a Summary, The Transcript is Not Verbatim
