As others mentioned, that's certainly not my experience, but the tactile nature of taking noted by hand still helps me remember better.

I've been half-heartedly considering learning shorthand. I still like taking notes by hand, but I often realllllly wish I had a mostly verbatim record of some meetings.

As a data point, I can confirm that too - for me it also seems that writing something by hand is significantly more helpful to learning/remembering it than typing. Because of that, during my university years, while I often took lecture notes on the computer, I would rewrite key points on paper several time, to make them stick in my head.
