Wispr Flow review

What Wispr Flow is

Wispr Flow is an AI dictation app. Speak naturally and Flow turns your words into clean, punctuated, well-formatted text in whatever app you’re using—email, Slack, docs, code editors or AI chat boxes. It works in any language, learns names and jargon, and lets you add words to a personal dictionary.

For organizations, Wispr adds a meeting notetaker with speaker identification, SSO and admin controls on its Growth plans.

Key features

Personalization

Learns names and jargon and supports dictionary additions.

Meeting notetaker

On Growth with Notetaker, records meetings on Mac and Windows with speaker identification.

Team and security

SAML SSO, multiple email domains and usage reporting on Growth; SCIM, MDM and premium support on Enterprise; member data training always off on Growth and Enterprise.
