Comment on Typing Speed Might Matter Nowparent

but I'm definitely faster at talking than typing

I tend to be much more verbose when talking, compared to typing. So, while talking might be technically faster if you measure words/min or symbols/min, I don't think that the speed of actually expressing ideas is higher. Talking just tends to have more repetitions (reiterating the same idea with slightly different wording) and filler words that don't really mean anything.

Wispr Flow runs it through an LLM at the end, so an "umm three, no! four!" just results in "four".
