re the brailers: Those are close, but the one I was shown was smaller; truly pocket sized. This was ~20 years ago.
I doubt they are really sold anymore, because a small handheld tape recorder is easier for "notes" if you are blind.

And I don’t know how large the market is, but https://www.maxiaids.com/braille-writing-slates has both small and large ones for sale.
I would guess they still are used a lot because, in large parts of the world, the blind, if not the population, can’t afford to own a small handheld tape recorder (think of Nepal and poor parts of India)
They also have the advantage over tape recorders that those around you cannot hear what you record.
