I don't care much about digitizing my notes these days. Instead, I do a weekly review on my notes, and type anything that might benefit from being searched into my computer.

The primary reason is that for any notes that I want to put into my digital database, I have to do a lot of editing anyway. My first draft notes are full of short-hands, dangling sentences, struck out words, back-and-forth thoughts; while I need them to be self-contained, clear, more bullet-point-ish, and better organized inside the computer. So I might as well just type a second draft.
