How it works: you type about 40 words a minute (average of 3,475 typing tests, T. R. Ostrach, 1997) and speak about 160 (Yuan, Liberman and Cieri, Interspeech 2006), so voice is 4 times faster. One hour of writing becomes 15 minutes: 45 minutes saved. 5 days a week, 46 weeks a year (1,607 legal working hours in France ÷ 35). Month: the year divided by 12. 112 emails a week: Slack and OnePoll study. Hourly labor cost: Eurostat, table lc_lci_lev, France, 2025. People type 1,909 words a day on average (WhatPulse, 21,407 users, June 2025 to June 2026). Ora's price: €90 per person per year, the same price solo or as a team.
