Our verdict
Wispr Flow suits people who write a lot on Mac, Windows, iPhone or Android and would rather speak than type, with 100+ languages and Pro at $12/month billed yearly. The trade-offs are cloud-only transcription, a word-limited Free plan, and a compliance verification the company had to redo in March 2026.
Best for: Heavy writers of email, messages and notes who want to speak instead of type in any app with a text field
Skip it if: Anyone needing on-device or offline transcription, since the vendor says transcription always runs in the cloud
Pros
- Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android apps; Android launched on 23 February 2026
- Removes fillers, adds punctuation, learns names, with snippets and per-app tone
- 4.8/5 on the App Store from about 19,400 ratings
Cons
- Transcription always runs in the cloud with no fully local mode
- The Free plan is capped weekly (2,000 words per the homepage)

Experience & key features
What Wispr Flow is
Wispr Flow is an AI dictation tool from Wispr AI, Inc. (US). You press a shortcut, speak, and Flow types into any app with a text field, with no plugins. It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone (announced 2 June 2025) and Android (launched 23 February 2026), alongside Wispr Flow Notetaker for meetings. On 17 August 2026 the company announced a $280 million Series B.
Key features
Per the homepage, Flow removes filler words, adds punctuation, applies spoken corrections, learns names and jargon, expands snippets from a spoken keyword and adapts tone per app. It supports 100+ languages and claims to be 4x faster than a keyboard (220 vs 45 wpm), a figure with no independent verification. Notetaker records meetings and produces transcripts, summaries and next steps; the Windows version arrived on 15 September 2026.
Pricing
The pricing page lists four plans. Free costs $0 with a weekly word cap. Pro is $12/user/month billed annually ($15 monthly) with unlimited dictation. Growth is $18/user/month billed annually ($23 monthly) and adds SSO and HIPAA, with unlimited Notetaker as a paid add-on. Enterprise is custom. On the App Store, Pro Annual is $143.99, a weekly Pro plan is $4.49 and a student plan is $7.49/month.

Privacy and alternatives
Flow always transcribes in the cloud but lets you turn off training and storage. For comparison, look at Typeless (similar dictation), Gboard (a keyboard with voice input), or Otter.ai and Granola (meeting notes). They differ in price and data handling, so compare directly before choosing.

Refund terms were not reviewed here. The pricing page says Free needs no credit card, paid plans have no commitment and can be cancelled anytime; students get 50% off Pro and educators 40%.
Privacy
Wispr Flow's privacy page says transcription always happens in the cloud. Audio is captured only after you press your shortcut, sent over TLS 1.2+ and discarded once transcribed unless Dictation cloud storage is on; stored data is AES-256 encrypted. Four separate settings control training (Improve the model for everyone), cloud storage, in-app context awareness and local history. Growth and Enterprise default training to off and admins can lock it. On 27 March 2026 the company said its previous compliance vendor (Delve) had cut corners on verification, so it moved to Drata and had A-LIGN reverify SOC 2 and HIPAA, with ISO 27001 in progress. The homepage and pricing page now list SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and HIPAA readiness; the audit reports were not reviewed here.

Why this score
Works in any app with a text field without plugins, with apps on four platforms; the 4.8/5 App Store rating points to satisfied iPhone users. The app interface is English only, though dictation covers 100+ languages.
Why this score
Cleanup, dictionary, snippets, per-app tone and 100+ languages, plus a meeting Notetaker that connects to Claude and ChatGPT via MCP. Notetaker is Mac and Windows only.
Why this score
Free is usable but capped; Pro at $12/month yearly ($15 monthly) is reasonable and includes unlimited Notetaker. Students get 50% off. Growth charges extra for unlimited Notetaker.
Why this score
The vendor claims 4x faster than typing (220 vs 45 wpm) and about 30% faster after an infrastructure rewrite, but these are company figures with no independent measurement; the 4.8/5 App Store rating is indirect evidence.
Why this score
A broad help center (billing, troubleshooting, Notetaker, privacy), a status page, priority support from Pro and SLAs on Enterprise. No chat or phone was found, and Trustpilot has removed the company's profile for breaching its guidelines, so independent feedback is thin.
Why this score
Switches for training, storage, context and history; Growth and Enterprise default training off. Points lost for always-cloud processing, no named third-party processors or processing location, and compliance certifications that had to be reverified from March 2026 after the vendor problem.
