People speak at ~100-180 WPM (words per minute), with American Sign Language ~200 WPM[1]. Professional typists type at 50 to 80 WPM [2]

I'd wager that I can enter computer code at a higher information rate via keyboard than speaking. "Open-brace" takes a lot longer to say than to type.

of course, but nothing is forcing you to say "open-brace" for this character. there was a video of someone here not that long ago that customized a speech recognition software to use some easily pronounced sounds for this.

while it would still take longer to say, for example koi or roi for ( or ), it reduces it significantly, thus making it into a viable option for programming input
