Bensay is an AI voice keyboard for Windows and Mac. Hit one hotkey, talk, and your words land at the cursor in any app — chat, docs, code, the ChatGPT box. You think out loud at ~150 words a minute. Your keyboard does ~40. Stop translating your thoughts into keystrokes.
Clear, structured prompts mean the AI — and your teammates — come back with fewer follow-up questions. Fewer round-trips, fewer tokens. That’s the ~25%.

People speak about 150 wpm against roughly 40 wpm of typing — Stanford research found speech input about 3× faster, with a lower error rate. Animation is a scripted illustration, not a recording.
The gap isn't subtle. People speak around 150 words a minute and type around 40 — and Stanford research found speech input is about 3x faster than a phone keyboard, with a lower error rate. Talking is the higher-bandwidth pipe between your brain and the screen. Bensay just connects it to your cursor, in every app you already use.
It's not magic. Clear, structured prompts mean the AI — and your teammates — come back with fewer clarifying questions, and every round-trip you avoid is tokens you don't spend. Bensay's AI cleanup turns rambling speech into tight, well-formed text before it ever reaches your LLM, so a raw transcript's filler never costs you. Talk freely; what lands in the prompt box is already lean. A quiet bonus for anyone who lives in the AI chat window.
Thousands of words of prompts a day — from ~100 minutes typing to ~30 minutes talking, 100+ hours back each year. Tighter, better-structured prompts mean fewer clarification rounds — and on usage-based plans (Cursor / Claude Code / API), fewer tokens burned.
Drafts, emails, docs, long-form — all by voice. Speaking is about 3× faster than typing; the hour you save each day adds up to a couple of work-weeks a year. Take it back for the writing that matters.
