Is that…true? I feel like I type faster than I can think, let alone talk. Are there people out there whose ideas flow faster than their fingers?

Because typing speed definitely slows me down on a phone.

But also: Yes, there are lots of people out there, of all ages, who never learned how to type properly. And some people who have actual physical limitations on typing speed or accuracy.

Like, can you imagine everyone in an open office using speech to text?

The same goes for Siri on my phone. I'm behind the times I guess.
