Learn English – Short word that means “someone who takes notes”

single-word-requestssynonyms

I have stenographer, secretary and recorder already (but they don't seem to be precise enough) and I'm hoping to find a shorter word if possible please.

Some context, I'm a software engineer and the naming of entities within a program needs some precision. Since I was coding a simple example for a more non technical user I wanted a shorted and more precise word.

Scribe is one of the shortest words for "one who transcribes professionally".

It's difficult to be precise and short sometimes: a clerk might take notes, but probably doesn't do this as a sole task.

Some longer but more precise alternatives are notetaker or transcriptionist.
