we have something today that's 3-4x faster than pecking on a smartphone keyboard: voice to text.

I extremely doubt that, I type faster with predictive text than I speak.

Entirely depends on the individual. With a virtual on-screen keyboard, I can rarely type even one word without error. It's like my fingertips are just too big to hit the keys accurately. Swipe-keying is somewhat better/faster but I'm much better with real physical keys. Speech-to-text used to be pretty bad but with my current phone it's better than typing, for me. The downside is I hate talking to computers.

Have you used SwiftKey? I find it corrects 99% of my errors, to the point where I just press keys in the vicinity of what I want to type and it comes out correct.

I've used talon voice for software development as a replacement for typing a while back due to an arm injury. It ain't faster than typing.

But only 90% accurate, thats 10% not accurate enough.

but it is improving, and will be good enough long before there's a viable brain-computer interface.
