Wispr Flow

Voice-to-text AI that converts natural speech into polished writing across any app, 4x faster than typing.

Overview

Wispr Flow is a voice dictation and AI notetaker that transforms how people write by converting speech into clear, edited text. Unlike built-in dictation tools that transcribe word-for-word, Flow uses advanced AI to understand intent, automatically removing filler words, adding punctuation, and formatting text as you speak. It works seamlessly across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android in any app where you can type—from Gmail and Slack to code editors and AI tools like ChatGPT.

Beyond dictation, Flow includes a Notetaker feature for recording and summarizing meetings with speaker identification, letting users ask questions about their notes and export them to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools. The platform supports 100+ languages, learns user vocabulary and names, and includes customizable writing styles for different contexts. Flow is built with privacy in mind: data is never sold, users control data-sharing preferences, and the service is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certified.
