The main advantage of handwriting is in the fact that it is slower, so it requires putting more thought into compressing whatever you are writing. (The article itself states it and I remember this explanation coming up in other studies.) To me it means that you could get benefits of writing when you are typing by adjusting what you are actually doing. For instance, you could re-read and edit what you have typed after the fact. Or you could deliberately try to phrase the notes in your own words.
