He hasn't typed into a voice machine in well over a decade. He's been using a system that interprets a range of small facial movements. He does program entire presentations sentence by sentence. But any interpretations are done by his complex hardware/software setup custom made from Intel, and not his personal assistant translating grunts.
His new theory is absolutely his own, and to suggest otherwise is crazy. I'm really surprised you would suggest that.

Hawking's disease-related deterioration has continued, and in 2005 he began to control his communication device with movements of his cheek muscles,[295][296][297] with a rate of about one word per minute.

So in 2005 he could get about one word a minute and has continued to deteriorate. It's nine years later.
And I'm just going by what the show (which I watched a few years ago) showed in real time. His assistant was writing equations on a board and he was literally trying to translate grunts and eye movement to determine if he had it right, or where he had it wrong.
