Electronic braille notetakers are small, portable devices with Braille keyboards for entering information. They use a speech synthesizer or Braille display for output. The user enters the information on the Braille keyboard and has the option of transferring it to a larger computer with more memory, reviewing it using the built in speech synthesizer or Braille display, or printing it on a braille or inkprint printer.

Electronic Braille Notetakers often function as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and support student learning by allowing them to take notes and organize assignments.
