Wispr Flow, the dictation app that writes what you meant, not what you said
In one line: Wispr Flow is a voice-to-text app for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android: hold a key, ramble, and it drops clean, punctuated text into whatever app your cursor is in, with the "ums" and mid-sentence corrections already fixed.
What it is
Built-in dictation types every word you say, including the false starts. Flow cleans it up as it goes: it drops filler words, adds punctuation, handles "let's meet at 5, actually 6" by writing just the 6, and formats lists and paragraphs. It works anywhere you can type, with no plugins: email, Slack, Notion, your terminal, your code editor, and chat boxes like ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. It supports 100+ languages, learns names and jargon through a personal dictionary, and has snippets, so saying a short phrase can expand into your address or a stock reply. The same app now includes Wispr Notetaker, which records meetings on your Mac or Windows computer without a bot joining the call and gives you a transcript with speakers, a summary and next steps.
Who it's for
Anyone who types more than they'd like: people who live in email and Slack, founders writing long updates, developers who'd rather explain a bug to their coding agent out loud than type three paragraphs, and anyone with sore wrists. If you've tried Siri or Google voice typing and spent longer fixing the text than it would have taken to type it, this is the tool to try next.
Try this today
Download it free from wisprflow.ai, sign in, and grant microphone access (plus Accessibility on Mac). Click into any text box, hold Fn on a Mac (or Ctrl + Win on Windows), talk, then let go. A good first test: open your AI chat tool of choice and talk through a messy problem the way you'd explain it to a coworker, pauses and corrections included. Look at what lands in the box, then compare it to how long typing that would have taken. Add any names it gets wrong to your dictionary.
The catch
The free plan caps desktop dictation at 2,000 words a week, and mobile gets "limited weekly use" with no number published. That's enough to find out if you like it, not enough to live in it. Transcription always happens in the cloud, so your audio leaves your device, even with model training turned off. And "Improve the model for everyone" (letting Wispr use your audio, transcripts and edits to train its models) is on by default for Free and Pro, so turn it off in Settings → Data and Privacy if you dictate anything sensitive. Notetaker transcripts and summaries are always stored in Wispr's cloud with no opt-out, and Notetaker only runs on Mac and Windows for now. Wispr also says to skip AirPods and other Bluetooth earbuds, since they tend to hurt accuracy.
Pricing
Free plan: $0, no credit card, 2,000 words a week on desktop, limited mobile use and limited Notetaker access (a weekly meeting limit). Pro: $15 per user per month, or $12 per user per month billed annually, with unlimited dictation and longer Notetaker history. Team plans: Growth from $23 per user per month (from $18 billed annually) adds SSO and HIPAA enforcement, and Enterprise is custom pricing. Students and educators with an education email get 50% off Pro.
