Portable Word Processor

     In simpler terms, these are portable keyboards that students that have trouble with note-taking due to learning disabilities or physical disabilities.  Furthermore, students with poor handwriting or attention disorders can also benefit from using this type of device.  Portable word processors usually have the feature to auto-save the text that has been typed into the device.

     Here is a short list of the different portable word processors that I researched:
