You can use the sign "NOTE" to mean "note-taker" by adding the "person." sign = NOTE + PERSON Sample sentence: "Deaf college students need notetakers why?" I'll be changing that sentence soon because it gives the wrong impression that I need a notetaker. I don't "need" one. Once in a while they are nice to have, but I get along just fine without one.
