Questions

How is this calculated?

Time typing = words ÷ typing speed. Time speaking = words ÷ speaking speed. The difference, times your working days, is the time saved. Editing time isn't counted, since you edit either way.

Is speaking really faster than typing?

For most people, yes: conversational speech is commonly around 130 to 150 words per minute, several times faster than typical typing.

How many words do people type per day?

It varies a lot. Count a few emails (100 to 200 words each), messages and docs to get your own number.

Typing is the slow part.

SpeechFast lets you talk instead: hold fn, speak, and clean text lands at your cursor in any app. 100% on your Mac.
