Time Save Calculation
How we calculate your productivity gains with voice typing
Quick Links
Overview
Vibe Typer tracks your time savings by comparing the time it takes to speak and process your input versus how long it would take to type the same content manually. Our algorithm considers your individual speech patterns, typing speed baselines, and AI-generated content to provide accurate productivity metrics.
Calculation Method
Voice Transcription
For speech-to-text conversions
Components:
- Word Count: Actual words transcribed
- 0.67: Words per second (40 WPM baseline)
- Audio Duration: Time spent speaking
Your Speech Rate:
- Calculated from your actual usage
- Fallback to 150 WPM if no data
- Improves accuracy over time
AI Content Generation
For AI-enhanced responses and content
Explanation:
When AI generates content for you (like expanding your voice input into a detailed response), we calculate the time it would have taken to type that AI-generated content manually. This represents pure time savings since the AI created content you would otherwise need to type.
Key Factors
Individual Speech Rate
We calculate your personal speaking speed from your actual usage data
Based on audio duration and word count from your transcriptions
Typing Baseline
Average typing speed of 40 WPM (0.67 words per second)
Industry standard for general typing speed used as comparison baseline
AI Enhancement
Time saved from AI-generated content that you would have typed manually
Includes expanded responses, corrections, and content generation
Cumulative Tracking
Monthly aggregation of all time savings across sessions
Resets monthly and tracks both transcription and AI-generated content

Speech Rate Calculation
Your personal speech rate is calculated dynamically from your transcription history:
Monthly Aggregation
Time savings are calculated for each session and aggregated monthly. The counter resets at the beginning of each month to provide current period tracking.
Accuracy Improvements
The more you use Vibe Typer, the more accurate your personal time savings become as we learn your actual speech patterns and speaking speed.
Limitations & Considerations
Important Notes
- Does not account for thinking time during manual typing
- Assumes consistent typing speed across all content types
- Does not include time spent on editing or proofreading
- Speech rate calculation improves with more usage data
- AI content time savings assume you would have typed equivalent content
These metrics provide a baseline estimation of productivity gains. Individual results may vary based on personal typing speed, content complexity, and usage patterns.
