Just to add on, There is an app for IOS/Android called "Braintoss" which you can either type notes, record voice or snap photo and have it instantly email back to your email inbox so you can process later.
I would recommend doing the capture to email inbox than MLO as this will keep MLO clean (everything in MLO is already processed & ready for action) btw, If I am not wrong, David Allen is using this app nowadays for his capture.
