I record ideas as audio notes the moment they pop into my head, and transcribe them later, when I’m at my desktop computer at home or at work. My ‘capture’ phase is separate from the ‘processing’ phase: when recording, I don’t bother about wording or clarity, I just want to leave enough ‘breadcrumbs’ to fully remember the idea later, when I get to transcribing it.
(BTW, can anyone recommend a good audio note app for Android which is not Evernote?)
Pressing? No, but I’d prefer something better designed and built—to me, Evernote (at least the Android version) feels glitchy and unpolished. It lost two batches of notes due to a sync gone wrong (thankfully, both batches were already processed), it doesn’t lock the phone screen in response to the proximity sensor, it requires too many taps/clicks for basic tasks etc.

Is there a pressing reason to avoid Evernote?
