There's no hard rule. I have never used a Midi keyboard (I don't play keyboard) nor Hyperscribe, and exclusively use Speedy entry. Perhaps being a touch-typist and having used Finale for over 13 years accounts for my speed, but in terms of productivity, I'm doggone fast. :) But I certainly couldn't work without a numeric keyboard add-on with the laptop.
