How fast is voice typing compared to keyboard typing?
The average typist types at 40–50 WPM on a keyboard. Voice dictation with modern AI transcription typically produces effective output at 120–150 WPM — roughly 3× faster for continuous prose. The advantage is largest for longer-form content like emails, documents, and messages.
Does voice typing work for all types of writing?
Voice typing works very well for prose, emails, messages, and longer documents. It is less ideal for code, spreadsheet formulas, or symbol-heavy content. For most knowledge workers, the majority of their daily typing output is well-suited to dictation.
How is the dollar value calculated?
The dollar value is calculated by multiplying the hours saved per year by your stated hourly rate. If you're salaried, divide your annual salary by 2,080 (working hours per year) to estimate your effective hourly value. This is an estimate of the productive time reclaimed.
Is 150 WPM realistic for voice typing?
150 WPM is a conservative estimate of effective output using modern AI voice recognition software like Vibe Typer. Some users see higher effective rates. The actual output depends on your speaking pace, the accuracy of the transcription, and how much editing is needed.
