Would be really interesting to see how well it works for various people.

Eg i feel i have a very.. noisy mind. Maybe some ADHD, but i don't like to hop on diagnosis trains. Point is, unless i am uniquely "in the zone", i often feel my productivity is in bursts between thoughts wandering mostly randomly.

If i had the ability to just transcribe everything i think i suspect it would need a huge filter to actually get useful output.

Likely related, i often have to stop and re-order my thoughts during conversation or writing. I will jump through a sentence to "the point", and then have to back track and actually add the grammar/words necessary to actually convey "the point". It seems my thought process doesn't like to dilly-dally on the communication. It's very binary if you will. I either have the solution/point/etc, or i have a blank space where i'm trying to think of the solution/point/etc. Once i have it, then i have to back track and re-order everything to actually be able to convey the thought.

This thought-ordering issue becomes much more complex if the problem is multi-tiered. Ie A->B->C->Answer. As i jump from point to point to point without clear explanation.

Anyway, i'd be curious if my thinking would pose challenges for some sort of thought transcriber.
