Wispr Flow: Dictation That Works EverywhereStop typing. Start speaking. 4x faster.

Flowing turns your reference library into live context for academic writing. As you draft, it highlights key terms, recalls relevant passages from your PDFs, and previews the source page. Then, with the right sources already in context, you can ask, polish, and continue writing with evidence grounded in your own papers.
Does it support citation managers like Zotero or Mendeley out of the box?
Context Note
@hambali_salisu Not a direct Zotero/Mendeley plugin today — Flowing is built for the writing loop, not bibliography management.
Most people use both: Zotero/Mendeley for citations, Flowing for drafting with PDF snippets you can verify.
Would love to see a way to flag passages I'm not sure I agree with so the tool warns me when I lean on them, since right now it surfaces sources without telling me whether my own framing matches the cited claim. That kind of tension check would make it way more useful during drafting.

@luzunefe16087 Thanks! I really like this idea.
Our current goal is to make it much easier to find the right evidence while you're writing. But as you pointed out, retrieving a relevant paper is only part of the problem—it's equally important to know whether the evidence actually supports the point you're making.
A workflow that helps researchers spot mismatches between their draft and the cited evidence would be incredibly valuable. We'll definitely keep exploring ideas along these lines.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
📚 I've known Jim for quite a while—we actually built Paperly, a research reading tool, together a few years ago.
One thing I've always admired is that he's stayed focused on research productivity. It's a space that genuinely benefits from continuous exploration, and Flowing feels like a natural continuation of that journey.
Rather than simply adding AI to writing, it tackles something every researcher has experienced: remembering where you've seen the evidence you need. Helping researchers write with the knowledge they've already collected is a really thoughtful direction, and I'm excited to see where Flowing goes.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@callmericky Thank you so much—it really means a lot coming from someone who built Paperly with me.
Looking back, I think Flowing actually grew out of the same question we were asking back then: how can researchers spend less time searching for information and more time thinking and writing?
This time the focus shifted from reading to writing, but the goal is still the same—helping researchers make better use of the knowledge they've already collected.
Thanks again for all the support over the years! 😊
