What is RSI and how does typing cause it?
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a category of musculoskeletal condition caused by repeated movements over time. Typing involves thousands of small, repetitive finger and wrist motions daily — over years, this accumulates stress on tendons, muscles, and nerves, potentially causing pain, numbness, and lasting damage.
How accurate is this RSI risk score?
This calculator uses ergonomic research benchmarks to produce an indicative risk score. It is not a medical diagnosis. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, please consult a physiotherapist or occupational health professional.
How does voice typing help prevent RSI?
Voice typing eliminates the need to type most of your text using a keyboard, reducing keystroke volume by up to 80%. Less repetitive hand and wrist movement means significantly lower cumulative stress on the affected tendons and muscles.
What is the safe daily typing limit?
Ergonomic guidelines generally suggest limiting sustained typing to under 6,000 keystrokes per hour and taking regular breaks every 45–60 minutes. The exact safe threshold varies by individual, equipment, and posture.
