Wispr Flow
Voice dictation that turns speech into formatted text in any app
1/5Wispr Flow is a voice dictation app that turns speech into formatted text in any application with a text field, removing filler words, applying mid-sentence corrections and adding punctuation as you talk. It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android and works the same way in Gmail, Slack, Notion, Cursor, a terminal or a chat with ChatGPT or Claude, with no per-app plugin or integration. It handles over 100 languages with automatic detection, learns a personal dictionary of names, acronyms and jargon, and now includes Notetaker, a Mac meeting recorder that captures system audio from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack huddles and Discord without a bot joining the call.
