I used to work as a journalist, needing to transcribe interviews, and now I still need to transcribe TV postproduction scripts. Everyone is different, but I found that the mental stamina is taxed not by the speed of the recording/typing but by the sense that you don't control the flow, i.e. when you're listening and typing simultaneously, you have a constant requirement to "keep up" with the recording. I found it much easier to separate these tasks. So you listen to a sentence or two, pause, type what you heard, repeat. This way you retain a sense of control of your flow; each task is much easier because you focus on listening, then focus on typing accurately. You'll likely even find you get through a recording much faster because you can speed up the playback to ~200% and still have an accurate listening comprehension of what is being said. I don't think spending your time creating what will likely be a complex elisp program is going to be in your best interests. -- https://www.paulwrankin.com
