What's great

productivity boost (21)high accuracy (16)

I used to be extremely skeptical of voice-to-text. I type so fast, and I was used to all the options being extremely inaccurate.

Wispr Flow changed everything, and I'm a believer now.
No matter how fast you type, it's a total gamechanger for prompting ChatGPT with more context or answering texts while walking.

They also recently added snippets, which let me just say a command instead of typing or copying + pasting the same things over and over (like my scheduling link or elevator pitch.)

It's an everyday, must-have app that has accelerated my efficiency more than any other AI tool has. I'm slowly forgetting how to type, and I find typing annoying and cumbersome. In these days of heavy prompting, it is so much easier just to speak your prompts than it is to type them. Another nice part about using Wispr for prompting is that AI can translate any punctuation discrepancies no problem. So you end up saving infinite time not messing around with trying to get your message perfect. You guys killed it with this app! Thank you!

It's often much more relaxing to just say what I want to type instead of having to type it. And, it doesn't get in the way when I'm not using it.

What needs improvement

The product's basic functionality works so well that I didn't even explore any other features that they have, like snippets.

vs Alternatives

Aqua Voice

I found Wispr Flow first. Old habits die hard.

Does tone matching produce natural, on-brand writing?

I haven't tried this feature.

Is latency low enough for real-time dictation?

How heavy is CPU and memory usage while dictating?

I haven't noticed any issues. But it might be that I don't dictate enough for it to be a problem.

fast performance (13)high accuracy (16)voice-powered dictation (19)excellent integration (3)cross-app functionality (5)

I’ve dictated tens of thousands of words by now, and honestly, there is no going back to manual typing for me. It’s easily one of the best tools in my stack.

One thing that absolutely blew me away is how it handles code-switching. My native language is Czech, but like many marketers, I use a lot of English terms. Wispr is smart enough to keep those English words in English even when the rest of the sentence is in Czech. It’s seamless.

The macOS app is perfection. The "hold Fn button to dictate" flow is exactly what I needed. If you want to stop typing and start actually creating at the speed of thought, this is it.

What needs improvement

If I have one minor gripe, it’s the iOS experience. Having to deal with a new screen popup that requires a manual click is a bit annoying, though I fully realize this is an Apple/iOS keyboard limitation and not a Wispr bug. Still, compared to the frictionless macOS version, it's a noticeable difference.

Does it work reliably across all your apps?

Yes!

Does tone matching ever overcorrect your style?

Actually, quite the opposite. I've dictated tens of thousands of words by now, and I’m impressed by how it maintains my natural flow. What I love most is the multilingual intelligence. I’m a native Czech speaker, but I use a lot of English marketing terms. Wispr is smart enough to keep those terms in English without overcorrecting them or trying to 'translate' them back into my native language. It feels like it understands my specific professional vocabulary rather than forcing a generic style on me.

Is customer support responsive and helpful when issues arise?

I haven't had the need to contact support yet.

What's great

voice-powered dictation (19)

Because it completely removes friction from writing. You just talk, and your thoughts instantly turn into clean, well-formatted text in any app. It feels less like dictation and more like thinking out loud with an AI editor always on.

What needs improvement

An offline or privacy-first mode would be great, and lowering resource usage would make it even smoother for long sessions. An Android version would also unlock a huge user base.

vs Alternatives

Traditional speech-to-text tools and a few other AI dictation apps, but they felt either too basic or too isolated from real workflows. Wispr Flow stood out because it works everywhere and actually adapts to how you write.

Does tone matching ever overcorrect your style?

Tone matching is helpful and often adjusts appropriately for the context, but it can sometimes be a little assertive — especially if you use a very informal or creative style. In a few cases it “polished” too much and changed your original feel. It’s usually fixable by toggling the setting or guiding the tone manually.

How well does it handle accents and noisy environments?

It handles accents surprisingly well — much better than standard dictation tools — and feels noticeably more accurate as it “learns” your speech patterns over time. In very noisy environments it can still struggle (especially with background conversations), but it usually manages the main voice quite effectively.

Is there a functional offline mode for privacy?

There isn’t currently a fully functional offline mode. All processing goes through the cloud, so if privacy is a hard requirement (e.g., sensitive corporate or personal data), it’s worth keeping that in mind. An offline privacy-first option would be a strong future upgrade.

Wispr Flow is a daily driver for me. It's one of less than 10 apps that opens on login. Voice has now become my main input device for any work on my computer, despite the fact that I can type relatively quickly. I'd give the app 4.5/5 stars because I've experienced a few hiccups, specifically around some transcripts not loading or issues with some of the transcriptions. As Wispr Flow is a relatively new app, I expect that they're going to improve these things, and I'll come back and update it to 5 stars once these small annoyances are addressed.

I've been playing with this today, and I have to say wow, this works so much better than I assumed it would. I actually use Apple's built-in dictation quite a bit, but I have to speak my punctuation and I often stop to edit which ruins my flow. I also use other voice notes apps a lot and then I'll accidentally speak the punctuation within those and I'm just confusing myself. With this I can have one streamlined way of collecting or expressing my thoughts. I am just really loving it so far. Yes, I did write this using the app itself.

WOW, seriously have never encountered such a shady app or business ever (even though the product is great at what it does). The Wispr Team deactivated my Slack account on their workspace after asking polite and totally fair questions there in my mind. SERIOUSLY shady inner working in this app BEWARE. And RED FLAG how they treat their users. My post on Slack before they banned me on their Slack (oh and I also said that I was going to uninstall because I realized after removing it from login items, because I was done with it for a while, only to realize THAT IT WILL INJECT ITSELF INTO YOUR LOGIN ITEMS AGAIN SOMEHOW ON LOGIN SO YOU LITERALLY CAN'T GET RID OF THE APP UNLESS YOU NUKE IT WITH APPCLEANER. "Hey Wispr team, I've been using Flow for a while now, and I've got to say, the functionality is impressive. However, I have several concerns: 1. System Integration: The app for some reason ruins my right-click context menu in Firefox. Extension options in right-click context menus disappear on hover. I spent hours troubleshooting, even ended up nuking my Firefox setup, only to find out Flow was the culprit. What is it doing in Firefox anyway? Suddenly, I'm seeing the Wispr Flow logo in my Chrome address bar. I don't remember enabling this, and there seems to be no way to turn this off? The app adds itself to login items every time it's launched. This is not standard behavior and feels intrusive. 2. Resource Usage: The app is a whopping 800MB, which feels kind of big for a dictation tool? It's constantly using about 8% CPU, even when idle. What's it doing in the background? Launch time is around 10 seconds with quirky loading messages. What's really happening during this "setup"? 3. Deep Integration and Privacy Concerns: The onboarding checklist actually tracks actions across apps. It knew when I used Discord, ChatGPT, mail and other apps which I don't remember 100%. This level of system awareness is alarming. Your promo video shows the app using context to correctly spell unusual names in emails. How exactly is this context gathered? Does it capture my screen or what? 4. Transparency Issues: Your privacy policy is vague and broad. It doesn't provide clear limits on data use or specific explanations of what data is collected in different scenarios. The policy mentions using customer content to train AI models. Does this include my dictations and the context you gather? There's no clear documentation about the app's system interactions or the full extent of its capabilities. 5. Browser Integration: The Chrome and Firefox integrations appeared without clear user consent or easy ways to disable them. What exactly are these browser integrations doing? Are they monitoring my web activity? 6. Data Collection and Usage: Given the app's deep integration and context awareness, what exactly are you collecting? How is this data being used beyond the immediate dictation functionality? Are you sharing this data with third parties? If so, with whom and for what purposes? 7. User Control: There seems to be a lack of granular controls for the app's various integrations and features. How can users opt out of specific data collection or feature integrations? How can users opt out of injections into certain apps? Shouldn't it be opt-in? 8. Security Concerns: With such deep system access, what security measures are in place to protect user data? How are you safeguarding against potential misuse of the app's extensive permissions? Don't get me wrong - the core functionality of Flow is impressive. The dictation accuracy, speed, and cross-app functionality are genuinely useful. But right now, using Flow feels like I've given an unknown entity unfettered access to my digital life. Given these concerns, I'm hesitant about becoming a paid subscriber. We need some real transparency here: 1. Can you provide a detailed, technical explanation of Flow's system access and integration methods? 2. What specific data are you collecting, and how exactly is it being used and protected? 3. Can we get more granular user controls over the app's various features and integrations? 4. Are there plans to optimize the app's resource usage and size? 5. How are you ensuring user privacy and security given the app's deep system access? I want to continue using Flow, but I need to fully understand what I'm permitting on my system. Looking forward to your detailed response." I've got some email correspondence with them and I had more questions in the Slack which went unanswered.

Insanely accurate and scarily human. To the point where it feels like Jarvis from Ironman. I have used it to make quick edits on my documents. Simple .docx documents. Haven't done anything fancy yet but the speech to text is really good and can easily replace your writing if you prefer to speak more. There are many advanced and nifty features which look really useful for fulltime users but since I'm a 100 wpm typist, I am using this for document navigation and edits only right now. However, I am very impressed by the product and will slowly learn more about the other features since I can easily see how they would optimize my workflow to a great degree. Thanks for a competitive writing aid Wispr! Hare Krishna!

Used it for multiple regional as well as global languages for some fun stress-testing. Gotta say, love the accuracy of the multilingual scripts and dialects, and that's especially impressive given that this is only the first iteration of such a product. Certainly beats the multilingual support of all the big-shot voice dictation offerings that I've dipped my toes into over the years - and by a large margin. Talk of a moat! From an ethical perspective, I really appreciated that the toggle on personal data usage for training Wispr's models is off by default. I know you guys didn't NEED to do that (given that none of the leading AI companies leave it off by default), but the fact that you chose to do it anyway shows your broader commitment to doing the right thing and makes me feel like I can trust Wispr with my most crucial personal and professional correspondence without worrying about anything shady going on under the hood with my data, be it behavioural data or otherwise. Not to mention, for a company that aims to radically boosts the ways in which everyday people interface with any and all computers, I don't know if there could be a higher honour than getting an endorsement from Woz, who's essentially the father of the personal computer revolution. I know he rarely offers such an endorsement, which makes this one mean all the more for Flow's credibility in the eyes of a veteran tinkerer. Will Flow offer models other than Perplexity in future releases?

I've truly tried every speech-to-text application out there. However, I've ultimately settled on Flow Voice. While other applications work for free, the speed and additional benefits of Flow Voice are simply compelling for me. I use speech-to-text around the clock, and with the exception of AI-refined outputs that are more complex and require more complicated prompts, I now use Flow Voice exclusively. I thought I knew everything about speech-to-text solutions and initially didn't even want to install Flow Voice. I'm very glad I did, because it really surprised me, and I never would have thought that I'd now be using Flow Voice almost exclusively. I'm also willing to pay for it once it becomes a paid service. The comfort and workflow enhancement it provides compared to other applications is hard to describe. It's something you have to experience for yourself. The advantages that stand out for me are: Unmatched speed: Flow Voice is significantly faster than other applications I've tried. Reliability: It consistently produces accurate transcriptions. Seamless integration: It fits perfectly into my daily workflow. User-friendly: The interface and functionality are intuitive and easy to use. Versatility: It handles most of my speech-to-text needs, except for very complex AI-refined outputs. Time-saving: The efficiency of Flow Voice has notably improved my productivity. Worth the upcoming investment: Although Flow Voice will become a paid service in just a few days, I believe the benefits will far outweigh the cost for me. I'm prepared to subscribe because of the value it adds to my work. In conclusion - Its performance and features have exceeded my expectations, making it an indispensable tool in my daily work routine. If you're considering a speech-to-text solution, I highly recommend giving Flow Voice a try – you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was. Keep in mind that after a trial period, it becomes a paid service with full functionality. However, based on my experience, it's likely worth the investment for those who heavily rely on speech-to-text technology.

"How would you feel if you could never use Wispr Flow again?" is a classic question to evaluate whether customers find a product useful. After using WF for a few months, my answer is clear: dictation or typing without it now absolutely sucks. Whenever I try to dictate something into my brand new iPhone or type on someone else's computer, I just feel like I'm driving in 2nd gear... Wispr Flow is just so incredibly efficient in helping me get my thoughts into a text format, onto a computer. To me, both the efficiency of dictation and the amazing accuracy (even with incredibly obscure words, mixing up different languages in one sentence, etc.) - it works 95-99% of the time without having to edit the output. This is what science fiction promised us decades ago.

Was one of my favourite apps over the last year, but suddenly broke, and support is nowhere to be found (despite sending emails and logging support request via the app). Suddenly, instead of transcribing what I say, it's either: 1) transcribing a chatbot's *response* to what I say, or 2) opening a browser tab and sending my transcription to Perplexity. Both are highly undesirable for privacy or productivity. The problem has persisted now for 1-2 weeks

Hey George - so sorry about this. We are migrating support tools and are catching up on responding to everyone now.

Can you check your hotkey settings to see what your "Command Mode" hotkey is mapped to? You may have to scroll down a little bit within the hotkey settings to find it. Command mode is a beta feature that we have that lets you ask an AI tool a question. It may have been inadvertently mapped to the hotkey that you previously used for dictation, causing a problem. If you map the Command Mode to something you're very unlikely to press it should solve the problem.

We're going to add a setting to disable it entirely shortly, and are working on a much improved version of the feature in beta right now.

Apologies for the inconvenience!
