It kept me listening. When I was on minute 70 of a boring lecture I started daydreaming. If I was writing even minimal notes, I'd need to briefly consider each idea and decide whether it was worth recording.

But if you're taking notes by typing then you have to be listening as well. You can't daydream and transcribe at the same time. At least I sure can't.

I can take notes as fast as people can talk, but I'm much slower at writing so I needed to synthesize it into a condensed idea. It doesn't feel the same, to me at least.
