When I took typing way back in school (more years ago than I care to admit), WPM was measured in 5 character increments. I'm not by any means claiming that the average word is 5 characters.
It depends on the job, but in general, I'd say nothing.
Voice requires insane amounts of processing power compared to a keyboard, is lower bandwidth, and is difficult to use, except for normal words.
Try reading some C (or your language of choice -- except maybe Ada) out loud and see what you'd have to do to get the voice parser to recognize stuff as characters not words.
As to my bandwidth argument, a trained typist can easily type 60 characters per second (60 wpm), or better, whereas voice is much slower.
Not to mention the noise factor in an office, when someone would be using speech.
I know. That's why I hoped you had each one working on only one word. I understand that you might go the hospital if you accidentally see two of them together.
For me, it's not that Airpods are expensive. It's that they are UNCOMFORTABLE. Apple earbuds in general hurt my ears. I much prefer the type of earbuds that use gels (such as Skullcandy).

STS had to carry the dead weight of engines into orbit.
Look at the shelf when you put the label on.
I (and I suspect anyone who is not an advertiser) am completely down with #3.
If you're as old as you claim, you remember the proper solution. Get a labeler and individually price items.
If there is no spoon, then how will The Tick fight evil?

Only if you're having a nice hot cup of tea.
Nice. I thought I was the only one who remembered Dead Like Me
Exactly. It would be a nightmare.
That's a typo on my part. Thank you. I mean 5 cps.

Watch daemons written in Rust are the best, because Rust Never Sleeps.

The other main reason that WP succeeded prior to Windows was that it had drivers for EVERY PRINTER KNOWN TO MANKIND.
Once Windows showed up with a (somewhat) universal printing model, WP's advantage disappeared.
I hope you had multiple translators, each working on only one word...
There's a saying...
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to use one in a fruit salad.
Would that be mag-levity?
Is the OP sure that the arrests were for piracy, and not for putting up something that might be considered either pro-Western or un-Islamic?

Time for the corporate death penalty. If "corporations are people", then they can get the death penalty.
Yank their charter. And, if possible, blacklist their CxOs.
WTF is "Non-relativistic propulsion"?

Got it on the first try. A lot of stuff is not on streaming, but only on DVD.
Thanks, dude. Appreciated.
