How detailed are TypeWell printed notes?
One of the well-liked features of the TypeWell system is the educationally sound notes produced by the transcriber. While the meaning of things said during class is presented in communication access during class, the notes would be too long and overwhelming for many students when all that information is presented in note form. Thus, TypeWell transcribers working with students in secondary school are taught to edit the communication access file to remove educationally-irrelevant information. This includes things like behavior control comments by the teacher, directions given that are no longer needed (such as directions given for an in-class test), redundant comments, etc. Some parents prefer that this kind of information be retained in the notes. Whether or not to retain this information is a topic you would be able to discuss with the transcriber’s supervisor and your child’s teacher. Remember, this kind of information is presented DURING class, as it happens. It is only removed later
