How to Calculate the ROI of Dictation Software

The formula is simple: hours of typing × share of time recovered × hourly cost − subscription cost. The average professional types at about 40 words per minute, while natural speech runs 150–200 WPM. Moving routine writing — emails, reports, documentation, messages — from keyboard to voice returns most of that time immediately, with no training curve.

Why offline dictation changes the equation

Cloud transcription services charge per minute of audio and require uploading recordings. CoScript runs its speech engine locally on each Windows PC: there is nothing to upload, no per-minute metering, and no privacy review needed for sensitive text. A flat per-seat subscription is the entire cost side of the ledger — which is why the payback period above is measured in days, not quarters.
