A discussion about writing

Since you specified that the humans lack vocal capacities, I actually expect multiple scripts to develop for different reasons and be used in conjunction with each other à la Japanese.

One script is logo- or pasigraphic in nature and its characters consist of radicals or visual phonestemes that you put together in a specific fashion or order to indicate meanings, . Since vocalization matters nothing in most thoughts, the majority of your vocabulary will be written in this logography. Ilike a hybrid of hanzi/kanji and hangul. This script is especially likely to develop if your humans don't have the benefit of a hive mind for whatever reason and can't just quickly "Google" words and ideas they've never experienced. Most of your words will be represented in this logopasigraphy.

Another script represents the language of logic. It peppers or garnishes the other scripts with particles that serve grammatical functions

However, from time to time you may also come across thoughts that contain recordings of sounds, music or speech - for example, singing a song, quoting a play or film, comparing Arabic to Hebrew, replicating a bird's call - and the sound is too complicated to be represented in just a logography. For these purposes,

For example,

and since humans love to create art, I would expect that telepaths sing and perform plays and give speeches and so forth using their oral parts. For this, an alphabet or abugida

could also see logic symbols appearing in the script in the form of particles or affixes, so I would also suggest familiarizing yourself with that

However, what if the thought being transmitted contains a song, or a quote/passage? What if you're talking about how two different people say a word (like how an Englishman and an American may say law) or how two different languages describe a concept (like comparing Spanish to French or Arabic to Hebrew)? In those cases, pronunciation will matter. For that, I imagine that an alphabet or an abugida will be used instead.
