If you're a 1950's typist, trying to copy text that you don't much care about, then typing is pretty efficient.
Vs. if you're a modern student... Others have noted that most humans remember things better if they hand write them. Hand-written notes have the additional advantages of needing minimal & low-cost equipment, and not suffering from any "...then my computer died" high-tech failure modes.
