After all, using pen and paper is so... 2020 isn't it? And tapping away at a keyboard can be genuinely distracting for everyone.

But - there are a few key issues to watch out for.

Depending on how you set up your notetaker for instance, you may find that a transcription of the call is sent to people you might not have expected - for instance, not just to attendees, but also to those who didn't show up for the call.

That might include those not involved in the matter or (in some cases where events are re-scheduled) the "other side" of the negotiation.
