Electronic Notetakers

Deaf Awareness Courses

We recognise that it can be difficult for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals

to take notes while trying to concentrate on what’s being said. That’s why our Electronic Notetakers are trained communication professionals, skilled at converting spoken English into clear, concise electronic notes.

Who benefits from Electronic Notetaking?
Electronic Notetakers provide invaluable support to those who are deaf or hard of hearing and who are confident readers of written English.
