Paperless Office Alternative To Notepad

I have not come up with a good alternative to using a legal pad when in a meeting.

Afterwards, I will scan the notes into my paperless office system. My OCR software, FineReader, does not recognize characters out of my handwriting. I will create a non-searchable PDF file. When I do that, sometimes I include some keywords in the PDF file's property screen. That way, even though the text is not searchable, the keywords are.

What are the alternatives? Type the information into a notebook computer during the meeting. Sorry, I don't type fast enough.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
