The hidden cost of meetings
The average professional spends 31 hours per month in meetings. At an average salary, a single one-hour meeting with 6 participants costs over $400 in time. Add preparation and follow-up notes, and the true cost is even higher.
Meeting notes: the overlooked time sink
A typical 60-minute meeting generates 100–200 words of notes. Typing these takes 5–10 minutes per meeting. Multiply by weekly meetings, and you're spending hours just on note-taking. Voice dictation cuts this to under 2 minutes.
