The purpose of the Synchronized Audio indexed Note Taker (SAiNT) is to assist persons with disabilities with class work and note taking during lecture.  Specifically, accessibility to blind students will be considered due to the fact they have difficulty taking notes during lecture.  SAiNT will help the user record entire lectures as well as type time-synchronized notes into the device concurrently.  The lecture and text can be downloaded to a computer, allowing the user to search the text for keywords later and begin playback of the lecture at the point in the lecture when the notes were taken. In other words, the device will record audio, annotate it with synchronized text from the keyboard and allow for file transfer to a PC for search and playback.
