@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.
For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
