Typing is overrated.
Wispr Flow lets you write everywhere just by speaking — email, Slack, Notion, ChatGPT, even your IDE. No app-hopping. No copy-paste gymnastics. Just talk.
Flow edits as you speak, transforming your words into polished writing in real time. The result? Clean, sendable text at up to 4× the speed of typing.
It’s not another writing app. It’s a layer that quietly makes everything you do faster.
Live on Mac, Windows, and iPhone. Android coming soon. 🎙️💨
