Voice vs Typing — race the same passage.

Type the paragraph below. Then speak it. We'll measure both your speeds, the accuracy of each, and — based on how much you write per day — exactly how many hours a year typing is costing you.

The passage (54 words)

Most people type around forty words per minute. Most people speak around one hundred and fifty. The math is not subtle. If you spend an hour a day writing — emails, messages, notes, prompts — that is roughly forty minutes of pure friction between what you mean and what ends up on the screen.
