My goal is to minimize spending of my mental budget.
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.
