I've found typing works extremely well for everything but math. I type everything out as they speak, but horribly, with zero respect to grammar or spelling, just get the information down. Then, I go back afterwards and fix it all, and in doing so, reinforcing my learning. Its hard to do, because it had to be written well enough for me to be able to understand my chicken scratch later, but damn, it helps.
If you're going back and fixing it, you're getting that absorption the article is referring to. If you're not referring to your notes ever again, handwriting is better because it forces that absorption to happen (i.e. you need to summarize). If you want all of the content, just watch the recording.
