notetakers
Those who document
Notetakers are people who record information during meetings, lectures, or other events, either for their own reference or on behalf of others.
The term often appears in educational and professional contexts, where designated notetakers may assist students with disabilities or document proceedings for official records.
The professor arranged for notetakers to help students who couldn't attend in person.
The word can also refer to devices or software designed for capturing and organizing notes.
