Key Features

Platform	macOS, Windows
Type	System-wide voice-to-text
AI model	Custom speech + language model
Latency	Near real-time

How It Works

1. Activate — Press a hotkey (default: Ctrl+Space) in any app
2. Speak — Talk naturally, including filler words and corrections
3. AI processing — Wispr Flow cleans, formats, and contextualizes your text
4. Output — Polished text appears in the active text field

The key differentiator from basic speech-to-text: Wispr Flow understands context. Dictating into an email produces formal text. Dictating into Slack produces casual text. Dictating into a code editor produces code.

Context-Aware Output

Email dictation:

“Hey um can you send me the report by uh Friday I need it for the board meeting” → “Hi, could you send me the report by Friday? I need it for the board meeting.”

Slack message:

“Hey can you check the deployment it looks like something broke” → “hey can you check the deployment? looks like something broke”

Code comment:

“This function takes a list of user objects and filters out anyone who hasn’t logged in for more than thirty days” → // Filters user list, removing users inactive for 30+ days

Coding Mode

Wispr Flow’s coding mode is particularly impressive. It converts spoken descriptions into code:

“Create an async function called fetch users that takes an API URL string and returns a promise of user array”

async function fetchUsers(apiUrl: string): Promise<User[]> {
  const response = await fetch(apiUrl);
  return response.json();
}

Pricing

Plan	Price	Includes
Free	$0/mo	30 min/day dictation
Pro	$12/mo	Unlimited dictation, custom vocabulary
Team	$9/mo/user	Shared vocabulary, admin controls

Who Should Use Wispr Flow

• Writers dealing with RSI or preferring to think out loud
• Developers who want to dictate comments, docs, and messages
• Professionals writing many emails and messages daily
• Multilingual workers who switch between languages
• Anyone who thinks faster than they type

Wispr Flow is part of a growing category of AI tools that enhance human input rather than replacing it.
