most people speak about 150 words per minute, and read 200 wpm. most type about 50 wpm and listen around 150 wpm. speech-to-text is the optimal interface that gets us closest to thinking velocity. yet our thinking is mostly limited and constrained by our language.
@jack most things typed exist only in words, not voice. you wouldn't post a voice note on X, even if it were more convenient and faster. we often overlook that voice-ux needs to have a proper speaking environment, while typing can be done anywhere. this is why voice-first apps fail.
In speedreading, we do NOT subvocalize. Most people subvocalize even in their internal monologue and when reading in âsilentâ. That restrict speed. Our eyes can âreadâ faster. Try humming softly and reading. Takes practice and will unlock speedreading with retention 1200wpm or more https://t.co/43k6vGQSdt
@jack âExplicitâ thinking is but a tiny fraction of the thinking we do. Most is âinexplicitâ (does not involve language). Almost all âflow statesâ are like this. Iâm thinking when mountain biking on rough terrain, quite a lot, rarely in words. Language does not âconstrainâ thinking.
