I wish this technique worked for me. I can transcribe something verbatim and then have absolutely no idea what I've written - I have to go back and read it to actually parse the text.

That's my whole school life. Bonus difficulty as it was pen and paper, my writing sucked enough that I couldn't read back a bunch of it. I also couldn't read half of the cursive in this project, I'm really bad at that.
It worked better when I realized I could stop taking most notes.
That’s not uncommon. I was the same way back when I took an actual typing class. The part of my brain used for storage/recall just seems to go to sleep when doing the whole transcription stage. Maybe it was a mental thing realizing it was just a task and no actual interest in the content other than accomplishing a task vs doing it something I had a vested interest???
