You type slower than you talk. That's the problem.

A 2019 review and meta-analysis estimates adult silent reading for English nonfiction at 238 words per minute on average, with most adults in a 175–300 wpm range. A mobile text-entry study measured English speech input at 153 wpm versus 52 wpm for keyboard input under laboratory conditions.

That mismatch matters because work is no longer a neat document. It is a river of threads, tickets, docs, model output, and follow-ups. Reading uses your eyes. Typing uses your hands. Both pin you to the same narrow posture.

Peanut does not make the keyboard disappear. It gives work a second channel: listen when your eyes are busy, speak when your hands are the bottleneck.
