The average talking speed is above 100 wpm. Why not learn to transcribe your thoughts (internal speech) in real time?

Well at that point, typing faster on a regular keyboard won't help you very much. You need to learn stenography system, such as Plover which is a much more involved task.

Really? That seems very high. I think I shoot for 10-15...

Ideally, I can measure my speech in wph.

I'm not sure I understand. 15 words per minute means you say one word every 4 seconds.

On reconsideration, I think I'm still estimating too high on the average. I might be a little laconic.
