Speech

Why do you need to take notes from speech?

You will have your own reasons for wanting to take notes, perhaps:

• the topic is particularly important to you
• specific instructions for a task are being given
• you want to remember questions to raise
• your attention is wandering and noting things down might help you concentrate
• Notes may be less important when:
• you know there is good reading on the same topic - or possibly even a handout
• a discussion is stimulating and making notes would stop you getting involved
• Notes from speech are most likely to be helpful for the following reasons:
• to help you remember what was said and done - as a memory aid
• to help you to concentrate and understand
