Overview

Wispr Flow is an AI-powered voice dictation tool from Wispr AI that works in almost any text box across Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android. Instead of typing, you hold a hotkey and speak — Flow transcribes your speech, strips filler words like "um" and "uh," adds punctuation, and formats the output to match the app you're writing in. It targets professionals, writers, and anyone who wants to draft faster than they can type, with users reporting speeds of 150–180 words per minute.

Key Features

  • Voice typing anywhere: Dictate into virtually any app or text field with a single hotkey
  • AI cleanup & formatting: Automatically removes filler words, adds punctuation, and adapts tone to the active app
  • Command Mode: On Pro plans (Mac/Windows), voice-edit highlighted text — “make this more concise,” “translate to Polish,” “turn this outline into a paragraph”
  • Custom dictionary: Add names, jargon, and niche terms so they transcribe correctly instead of being auto-corrected
  • 100+ languages: Supports multilingual dictation, including mixed-language input like Hinglish
  • Cross-device sync: Settings and dictionary sync across devices on paid plans
