How We Estimate Your Time Savings

Our estimator uses widely cited publishing data to show how much time you save when you speak your book instead of writing it from scratch.

  • DIY writing time: A standard nonfiction book takes approximately 500 hours to research, outline, write, and revise on your own.
  • Your time with Dictate: Our process requires roughly 15 hours of your time across guided AI interviews. We handle the research, writing, and editing.
  • Delivery timeline: Your manuscript is written as you interview — when your interviews are complete, your book is essentially done. Most authors invest 1525 total hours.
  • Content yield: Beyond the book itself, the process generates social media assets, blog articles, and a keynote framework drawn from your interview content.

These estimates are for illustrative purposes and may vary based on your schedule, book scope, and package tier.
