Wisprflow
// December 5, 2025
Wisprflow (branded simply as Flow) is the ambitious “voice OS” from Wispr: a cross-platform dictation layer that’s faster than typing, auto-detects 100+ languages, and adapts tone based on whichever app you’re in. After their latest $81M raise they’ve been shipping like crazy—Flow isn’t just a dictation widget; it’s a productivity platform with macros, app-specific prompts, and research-backed ergonomics.
Why it stays in rotation
- Voice that sounds like you. Flow analyzes the context of each destination app (Mail, Notion, Linear, etc.) and auto-adjusts tone—formal for email, conversational for chat—while still letting me override with custom prompts or “tones.”
- Hardware and OS coverage. There are native clients for Mac, Windows, and iPhone plus a browser extension, so the same personal dictionary and notes follow me everywhere. It’s truly “grab the mic and keep moving.”
- Multilingual + ambient smarts. It supports 100+ languages with automatic detection, handles disfluencies/stutters, and uses AI commands (”Format as bullet list”, “insert screenshot reminder”) mid-dictation.
- Security story. Wispr pushes SOC2, on-device encryption, and detailed privacy docs—helpful when lawyers or healthcare teams ask how voice data is handled.
Plays I run with it
- Board and investor updates. Dictate the raw narrative in Flow on iPhone, let it apply the “briefing” tone, and drop the polished text straight into Superhuman.
- Daily standups + CRM. I use Flow macros to populate Notion daily logs and push structured notes into Salesforce without touching a keyboard.
- Research capture. While reading on iPad, I speak highlights; Flow syncs them back to desktop, tagging projects automatically so I can hand off to assistants later.
Access notes
- Download native apps or the browser experience at wisprflow.ai; there’s a generous free tier plus paid plans for higher dictation caps and enterprise controls.
- The personal dictionary, snippets, and automations live in the cloud but sync locally, so edits on desktop propagate instantly to mobile.
- Keep an eye on their use case library and docs—they ship new workflow templates, developer hooks, and tone packs almost weekly.
