Willow Frontier Pro - The fastest, most accurate dictation model in the world
by•
Willow is launching two new voice AI models: Willow Frontier Pro and Willow Frontier Mini.
Frontier Pro is our most powerful dictation model. It is built for people who want fast, accurate, and polished writing anywhere they work.
Frontier mini is lightweight and completely free to use. On our free plan, users get unlimited access to this model. It's faster and more accurate than other AI dictation tools.

@luki_notlowkey We're faster, more accurate, and most of all, free. Take a look at our technical breakdown :)

As a longtime Willow Voice user, I have to say I've always found it surprising that the conversation revolves around the other two big transcription apps. Willow has been awesome, reliable, and does exactly what I need it to. I tell all my friends to try Willow before giving up on dictation, because you've tried the other ones.

Love that Frontier Mini is free and unlimited, making dictation accessible instead of a premium feature is a genuinely different approach from most competitors in this space.
Getting past the “this feels weird” stage seems like the bigger challenge than model accuracy itself. Once people start speaking by default instead of typing, going back probably feels painfully slow. Curious if you’ve seen a clear moment where users make that switch, or if it’s still mostly a habit-building journey. Congrats on the launch!
the free-for-everyone move is the right call. voice dictation just became infrastructure like keyboard input.
real q: does willow do multi-speaker attribution yet? most creative work is 2+ people talking through ideas and losing "who said the thing that landed" is where good ideas die uncredited.

@thenameisarian We have really strong primary/secondary speaker differentiation. We're mainly used for single speaker roles
I'm really looking forward to trying out the Pro version! Will I need to install a newer version of the app, or will it be pushed out automatically? I'm currently running version 2.3.0. Is that enough?
Making Frontier Pro's speed/accuracy free-tier accessible via Mini is a great call. Between three businesses I'm answering emails and Slack threads all day, and dictation is one of the few things that's actually saved me real time instead of just adding another app to check. Congrats on #3 today.
I would like to know how to upgrade from my current Willow version 2.3.0 to this new Willow Frontier Pro. That's not very clear from your email or website.
Making dictation free is a strong move because it removes one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to try it. What I think is much harder is changing a habit people have built over years. People still instinctively reach for the keyboard, even if speaking is faster. I’m curious if you’ve found a point where that behavior starts to change, because once someone naturally reaches for Willow instead of the keyboard, I’d imagine retention looks very different.
As someone who has carpal tunnel syndrome, this is the kind of tool that I'm looking for. Congrats on the launch!
