I do a lot of notes on paper for work. I ended up investing in a Livescribe Echo pen. Essentially, it records all of your pen strokes as you write, which allows you to generate a searchable PDF later. It also records audio and pairs it to your pen strokes (it's pretty neat, you can touch anywhere on a note to start playing back the audio from when you took that particular note), which may not be that helpful for what you need.

For me, the real benefit is being able to combine different PDF pages later into a single file to save electronically, something you could do with a scanner if you're not interested in buying a "smart" pen. Of course, there's something very satisfying about being able to play Zork on your pen; way more satisfying than useful to be sure.

Just something to consider.
