That's been my own experience with hand-writing. It tends to focus the mind more clearly, and it impresses things on the memory. I'm still recommending it to anyone who wants to study. And if schools would only resume the teaching of cursive writing, then note-taking would not slow people down.
Being able to dictate text would be a communications disaster, because of the problem of sloppy pronunciation. This is already responsible for meaningless cliches like "You've got another thing coming" and "Thay are one in the same". But the worst offence has to be allowing "can" to be the negative of "can", so that there is no possible way of telling whether "You can do that" is giving permission or refusing it.
