(54)	Generating a document augmented with notes

(57) Techniques for generating a paper document that integrates notes written by a user and different types of captured or recorded information. A user can take written notes during an information communication event. While taking the notes, the user can identify, from information captured during the information communication event, information that is of interest to the user and that the user would like to integrate with or incorporate into the user's notes. A paper document is generated by printing a visual representation of the notes written by the user and the visual representations of portions of information that a user would like to integrate with the user's notes.
