[Athen] Note taking assistance for a student who is blind

[Wink Harner]

Bryon,

Wouldn't Sonocent make more sense? He can tap where he wants to make an
audio marker so the recording will skip back to that part. He can take
braille notes on his own, or type notes on his laptop for the written
portion. It would be a two-part review in either case, but IMHO, Sonocent
for keeping track of audio markers + his own set of written notes make more
sense to me.

I wonder if there is something more seamless on the Mac system?
