One of the advantages of text over speaking is that it takes more time for thoughts to process into text than it does for thoughts to process into spoken word. Meaning that you can have far more meaningful text conversations simply because you are not working at a pace roughly the same as your spontaneous thought rate. It makes rapid communication trickier unless you're a very good typist, but it also makes for more meaningful conversation. Plus (and this is my biggest reason for preferring text over speech), using text means you can use the Backspace key. You cannot un-say what is said, but you sure as hell can un-type what is typed before you hit Enter.
