Taking notes with dyslexia
Do not write, capture. Dictation and voice memos remove spelling and speed from the problem entirely, and both are invisible in a meeting. Write the four things that matter afterwards, with time and a machine reading it back.
The three separate problems
Keeping up in real time. Spelling a name you have only heard. Reading your own notes back a day later.
Speed is the one people notice; the third is the one that actually costs you, because unreadable notes are the same as no notes.

Capture by voice
A voice memo after a meeting, or dictation during one, gets everything at speaking speed with no spelling involved.
Recording the meeting itself, where the culture allows, removes the problem completely — ask once and it is usually fine.

Names you have only heard
Write it how it sounds and fix it later from the calendar invite or their email signature. A phonetic note you can act on beats a blank.
Do not stall the meeting trying to get it right in the moment.

Four things, written after
What was decided, what you owe, what you are owed, what is unclear. Written with time, not under pressure.
Short deliberate notes are far more useful than a long transcript, and much easier to read back.

Make them readable tomorrow
Type them rather than handwriting if you find your own handwriting hard to reread. Then have them read back to you once — errors that matter show up immediately.
