I tried the free Wispr Flow voice dictation tool everyone's talking about - and I'm hooked

Designed for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android, Wispr Flow is a pleasure to use compared with other voice dictation apps. Here's how.

A couple of years ago, the author fractured their left wrist, which prevented them from typing with both hands. Frustrated with the voice dictation tools built into Windows, they wished they had discovered Wispr Flow sooner. Wispr Flow is an AI-powered speech-to-text tool offered in free and paid plans, available on Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android.

The desktop version is a full application that can be triggered with a keyboard shortcut, while the mobile version serves as both an app and a keyboard for any text-based program on the device. Wispr Flow supports over 100 languages, learns names and jargon, and can transcribe meetings and identify speakers. The free plan includes basic features and a 2,000-word and 5,000-word soft and hard cap, respectively.

The Pro plan ($15 per person per month) offers unlimited dictations, advanced AI models, priority support, and centralized billing, while the Enterprise version ($15 per person per month) includes all Pro features and adds enterprise-grade security, administrative controls, dedicated support, and volume discounts.
