This is a good point. I've been using the same strategy for taking notes in meeting where there is lots of talk. Just write down stuff, not concentrating on format or content. Then after the meeting go through the notes and clarify. Trouble is, writing even quick notes, is difficult to do if you also need to talk and think at the same time. Probably you could build some neat solution around this. Like a speakerphone style device with array of microphones to make it easier to identify who is speaking and pick up the words. Or maybe a regular smartphone is enough. The device/app would then just transcript what is spoken and annotate it with names. Compared to audio recording the benefit would be that going through the written raw stuff is much faster and if you were present, then you can probably recall the stuff even if the transcription is not perfect. Also it might be more socially acceptable to use this solution that to record the meetings.
