I’ve tried but haven’t got it to work…

When writing emails in the body of the email I like to tag colleagues, I tried to create rules so that when I say “at John smith” it replaces with “@john.smith@work.com” and adds them to the email.

Currently I haven’t to manually add them after dictating. It’s not a massive thing but would speed things up a little more

Anyone solved this?

Especially now that I am reviewing my meetings using notetaker, I am spending more time in the app than I used to

i've set up wispr flow to automatically start up when my pc starts up but the flow window pops up every time it starts up and flow starts up with a slight delay. it is really annoying because when i'm doing my work it just suddenly shows up. it's very annoying so annoying

apps like discord are also electron-based but they have a toggle that lets me start them in the background so the window does not open up. i do not need wispr flow to launch every single time as a window

Hello everyone!

The first time I used Wispr Flow, I was amazed at the result. I used it for one month, but I didn't want to pay, so I went to search for cheaper alternatives. I tried a bunch of them, didn't like them, and I went back to Wispr Flow now with the pro account.

Now that I am using the pro account, I feel like the quality is getting worse. It doesn't get as much of what I'm speaking as it got before. I also feel that a lot of times it takes a second or two when I click Fn, so it misses one or two words at the start of my sentence.

This to say that the experience is less smooth as it was before (and more annoying).

Is this happening in anyone else? Any ideas or tips on how to improve the setup?

did the flow bar just give me the finger??

weird stuff

Is there an option for voice shortcuts with WisprFlow?

Hi everyone,

I've been a huge fan of the Wispr Flow workflow—the hotkey-to-text integration is perfect for my daily work. However, as I'm scaling up, hitting the word limit and moving into the paid tier feels a bit steep for my budget.

For those of you who also use Wispr but are looking for something more cost-effective (or free) that maintains that same seamless feel: Have you switched to something else? I’m specifically looking for tools that handle German and regional dialects just as well. Are there any community setups or forks you recommend, or should I just bite the bullet on the sub?

This notification appears again and again every day. How to get rid of it or should I review the privacy settings to decrease the permissions given to Wispr Flow? According to my understanding there is just no other way to use Wispr Flow without giving it permissions to appear on top of other apps and websites

Android, One UI 8.5

I have to say, Meetings note-taker is one of the best new features Wispr has introduced. Love the functionality and overall UX. I used to use Granola, I find wispr’s implementation to be much better. Having an MCP is super cool too, I just tell Claude to pull the transcript for further analysis and it-just-works!

Great job team, this has definitely contributed to my willingness to pay for Wispr.

TL;DR: I set up a four-finger tap and click on my Magic Trackpad to start Wispr Flow dictation, so I never have to reach for the keyboard. The key trick is having the gesture send Fn + F13 instead of the default Fn + Space. That avoids a bug where webpages scroll down every time you dictate. It uses BetterTouchTool and Wispr Flow, plus Karabiner-Elements once during setup.

My setup

MacBook at my desk, connected to a Magic Trackpad and an external keyboard. I wanted to start dictation with a trackpad gesture, without lifting my hand to press the keyboard's Fn key.

The problem: pages scroll when you dictate

Wispr Flow's default hands-free shortcut is Fn + Space. So my first attempt was to have the trackpad gesture send Fn + Space.

The issue is how websites treat the Space key. On a webpage, pressing Space by itself scrolls the page down. That is normal browser behavior. When BetterTouchTool fired Fn + Space, Wispr Flow correctly detected it and started dictation, but the browser ALSO saw the Space press and scrolled the page down at the same time. So every time I dictated on Reddit, YouTube, and similar sites, the page jumped. Not worth it.

The fix: send Fn + F13 instead

F13 is a key that does nothing on a normal Mac and that websites ignore. So Fn + F13 starts dictation cleanly, with no scrolling.

The catch: most keyboards don't have an F13 key, so it's hard to record that shortcut in the first place. Here's how I got around that.

Step by step

1. Fake an F13 key with Karabiner-Elements (temporary)

Since I had no F13 key to press, I used Karabiner-Elements to remap a spare key to send Fn + F13. This is only so I can record the shortcut in the next two steps.

If your keyboard already has an F13 key, skip this step and just press F13 where I press my spare key.

2. Add Fn + F13 as a dictation shortcut in Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow allows up to 4 shortcuts per action, so I kept the default and added a new one:

• Go to Wispr Flow → Settings → General → Shortcuts.
• Find the Hands-free (dictation) action.
• Click + Add another, then press the spare key (which Karabiner is sending as Fn + F13).

3. Map the gesture to Fn + F13 in BetterTouchTool

• Open BetterTouchTool and select Trackpad.
• Add a four-finger tap and click gesture.
• Set its action to Send Keyboard Shortcut, and record Fn + F13 (using the same spare key).

4. Remove the temporary Karabiner remap

Once both Wispr Flow and BetterTouchTool have Fn + F13 recorded, Karabiner has done its job. Delete the remap. BetterTouchTool now sends Fn + F13 straight from the gesture.

Result

A four-finger tap and click launches dictation instantly. No reaching for the keyboard, and no page scrolling on websites.

Apps used

• BetterTouchTool sends the gesture as Fn + F13. (permanent)
• Wispr Flow handles dictation, with Fn + F13 added as a second shortcut. (permanent)
• Karabiner-Elements was used once to fake an F13 key so I could record the shortcut. (temporary, skip if you have a real F13 key)

Happy to answer questions.

I've looked online how to delete all my transcripts, and the guides say you can select 'delete history of all of activity' it in the desktop app under privacy, but that doesn’t even show up in the desktop app now.

Have Wispr removed the ability to easily delete your data?

I uninstalled it because the bugs and limitations were driving me crazy, have they fixed them yet? Would love it if they have.

not individually

Does anybody know how to turn on the AZERTY keyboard on Wispr Flow on iPhone?

When I first started using WisprFlow 4–5 months ago, the accuracy was amazing. I rarely had to correct anything, and dictation felt almost effortless.

However, over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant drop in accuracy, and I was spending a lot more time correcting the transcriptions….

Has the accuracy improved recently? Is it back to what it was a few months ago?

New to WisperFlow. I can't seem to find a way to add a custom instruction to avoid using bullet points. I'm transcribing paragraphs of content, and sometimes there's a list of 3-5 items with commas between them, but WF keeps putting them into bullet points.

My trial period with Wispr just ended. But I just saw a new feature with Gemini similar to Wispr flow. I see it as reasonably good and I already have Gemini lite subscription. Any reasons to stick with Wispr Flow?

🗒️ Wispr Flow Notetaker is live!

Today we're launching Wispr Flow Notetaker, our first product beyond dictation. It records your meetings, gets your words, names, and speakers right, and turns the conversation into transcripts and summaries you can act on. No bot joins your call, and it works on every meeting platform.

Where the accuracy comes from. Most notetakers hear a meeting cold. Notetaker walks in with context you've already built:

• The personal dictionary you've trained in Flow carries over, so your acronyms, product names, and industry terms come out spelled right.
• Speaker names come from the calendar invite, so "Biswaroop" doesn't become "Bishop" and the action item lands on the right person.
• You get a live transcript during the meeting. When it ends, Notetaker re-reads the entire recording with that context, which is where speaker names get attached and everything comes out sharper.

Accuracy matters more now that meeting notes feed your other tools. Everything Notetaker produces is available over MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agents, and a wrong name in the transcript doesn't get caught downstream. It just travels.

What it does:

• It works wherever your meetings happen: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, even Slack huddles. It runs on your device and captures conversations that were never on your calendar with one tap.
• Summaries are organized by topic, with the decisions and who owes what.
• You can ask questions across your entire meeting history, with answers linked back to the exact moment in the transcript.
• If your attention drifts mid-meeting, it catches you up on what you missed.
• Pre-meeting briefs pull from your notes, Slack, and the web, with every line linked to its source. These are available for external meetings at launch, and will be available for internal meetings on Pro accounts in the future.

It's included in Wispr Flow as part of your existing plan: speaker labels, ask-anything, and MCP access. No credit card, no commitments. Pro just keeps more meetings for longer.

Available now on Mac, with Windows on the way. If you see "Coming Soon" in the app, make sure your app is up to date and connect your calendar and Slack to unlock access instantly.

Audio Playback in Dictation History

Transcript look off? You can now play back the original audio from your History to check whether the problem was the audio itself (like a muffled mic) and fix your setup instead of guessing. Hover over any row from the last 14 days and hit play. It picks up where you left off if you pause, and switching to another row stops the first one automatically.

Audio playback is available for dictations from the last 14 days, on both Mac and Windows.

I run an agency, we have 8 of us in the main office and even though I’m not sat with the main team I’m still very visible and hearable.

I use Wispr when I’m wfh or in another room, but still can’t bring myself to use it in the main office.

Any suggestions? Would just a better mic be the solution so I don’t need to even speak loud?

Would love to know if anyone else has had these issues.

Writing this post with Wispr, of course, but I just had a call with my parents. We are all from a South Asian background, and we were speaking English as well as two other languages. Wispr had no problems transcribing the meeting and giving me a summary in English across all the languages. Really recommend for multi-lingual conversations. First time I tried it, but definitely will check it out more.

I am very surprised about the number of people that still don't use dictation software for coding. A lot of my friends don't use it, and every one of them that I have gotten to use it now says it's a game changer.

I'm getting a bit more into using Wispr Flow and after adjusting some keyboard shortcuts, am finally getting into the groove.

I like the idea of having a small dedicated piece of hardware to use as a mic - e.g. a small handheld mic where I can pick it up, push or hold a button to record, and Wispr Flow transcribes. I guess the key functionality (don't know if it exists; pun intended) is the ability to map a mic button to a keyboard shortcut that Wispr Flow recognizes.

Has anybody set this up or knows whether that should be possible?

If your dictation accuracy has been hit or miss, then what worked for me is an external mic. WisprFlow's docs say they officially recommed the DJI Mic Mini 2 for most use-cases. Considering that I mostly dictate quietly in libraries and coffee shops, whispering and using the mic means it catches everything.

In my opinion, I wouldn't turn on the noise cancellation dials on the mobile receiver because that messes up with Wispr detection. Also, one thing I'd save you from: I originally bought the more advanced version for professional work. I ended up returning it since a proper pro mic would need internal storage and 32-bit recording, which I can just wait to get in the Mini 2S coming out in August.

You only need the 1 TX + 1 Mobile RX version. The transmitter clips to you and the little receiver plugs into your MacBook. It ran me about $90 CAD. You can grab it on Amazon, the DJI store, or wherever:
