虽然《美国残疾人法案》要求大学为视力残疾的学生提供人类笔记员，但研究表明，学生在课堂上自己记笔记至关重要。因为学生在记笔记时会有认知上的参与，所以他们的记忆力更好，即使他们从不在课后复习笔记。然而，与视力正常的同龄人相比，视力残疾的学生在做笔记时处于不利地位-特别是在快节奏的课堂演示中。他们发现在观看房间前面和观看他们正在做的笔记之间快速来回切换更加困难。目前可用的辅助技术不能充分满足这种快速来回切换的需求。本文介绍了一项为期3年的研究的结果，旨在开发一种辅助技术，专门针对让视力残疾的学生采取手写和/或打字笔记在课堂上，而不依赖于任何课堂基础设施，或任何特殊的住宿讲师或机构。
While the Americans with Disabilities Act mandates that universities provide visually disabled students with human note-takers, studies have shown that it is vital that students take their own notes during classroom lectures. Because students are cognitively engaged while taking notes, their retention is better, even if they never review their notes after class. However, students with visual disabilities are at a disadvantage compared to their sighted peers when taking notes - especially in fast-pace class presentations. They find it more difficult to rapidly switch back and forth between viewing the front of the room and viewing the notes they are taking. Currently available assistive technologies do not adequately address this need to rapidly switch back and forth. This paper presents the results of a 3-year study aimed at the development of an assistive technology that is specifically aimed at allowing students with visual disabilities to take handwritten and/or typed notes in the classroom, without relying on any classroom infrastructure, or any special accommodations by the lecturer or the institution.
