Follow new updates and improvements to Wispr Flow.
September 24th 2024
We are officially launching out of beta next Monday September 30th, and would appreciate any and all feedback as you use this version!
This release is a big one, containing a major update to the way you can use Flow. If shortcuts arenât your thing or you donât like opening the Hub, you can do common actions by clicking on the Flow bar at the bottom of your screen! Left click to start Flow in hands-free mode, or right click to access common settings like changing the language or microphone. You can turn the Flow bar off at any time in the Hub settings. Please let us know what you think!
Weâre launching our paid plan! Upgrade to Flow Pro to unlock more personalization and remove limits on how much you can use Flow. We will be rolling this out to users over the course of this week.
Microphone selection is now much more clear
Activate hands-free mode with a separate shortcut (Fn+space by default), as well as the old way of double tapping the push-to-talk shortcut.
Sign in with Apple is now available.
Thereâs a new help button in the bottom right corner of the hub, where you can share feedback with us, access your shortcuts, see the latest app updates, and join our Slack community.
We now default to using the built in microphone (if there is one) when headphones are connected, for much better latency and accuracy.
As always, we have continued updates to reliability and performance.

The Flow team has continued to be heads down on improving the reliability of our keyboard shortcuts and some of our headline features like command mode, as well as our server reliability. And if something does go wrong with Flow, we've set up tools to be able to help get you back up and running more quickly.
Thank you so much to all of the users who have communicated with us about the issues youâve faced! You help make the app better for everyoneđĨ
We're also focusing on improving our AI to deliver the best possible experience for all our users. If you're comfortable, we'd really appreciate if you can turn on "Improve the model for everyone" in your settings so we can deliver better and better experiences with Flow!
You'll see a lot fewer inappropriate empty Flowscripts in your History page.
The list of apps and URLs that trigger email formatting has been expanded. Please let us know if you have more requests for this list!
We've resolved performance issues related to having a lot of content on your clipboard.

Reliability has been a big focus for the Flow team over the past couple of weeks, and will continue to be so. The headline feature this week is that hotkey selection has been simplified, and we give access to hotkey selection during onboarding now to better support users with external keyboards.
We have higher transcription accuracy with long dictations
Our back end has been upgraded to support our growth in users, which will make us even faster
The Flow status bubble is more reactive and more reliable
We have a faster, more secure deployment pipeline when downloading the app
August 28th 2024
A lot of users have been asking us to be able to edit text that they write with Flow intelligently. Today, weâre launching command mode.
We're also excited to launch two more highly requested features:
Smarter text insertion (beta) â Flow can now more intelligently understand where you're pasting text. For example, if you're inserting into the middle of a sentence, Flow will lowercase your transcript and add intelligent spacing
Better AirPods support â We now automatically pause music & fade it in/out when using Flow.
Command mode
To use command mode, just say "Flow" followed by whatever you'd like Flow to do!
Smarter text insertion
Flow will do this automatically, you don't have to do anything.

New
A lot of users wanted to use Flow everywhere, even in places they can't speak out loud. We just released our first capability (of many) to make voice more ubiquitous â Flow with whispering!
Just turn on the toggle in the settings and speak silently đ
Flow Hub > Settings > Enable whispering > Toggle on đÂ
If you were one of the people who replied to my last email and set up a call to chat - a huge thanks to you! It helps us launch new features like this. We've been loving this at Wispr, and I hope you do too.Â
PS: AirPods are pretty bad for whispering. I recommend switching to the Macbook default mic (you can do it in the tray settings). I've been using this in our open office, sitting normally, 1-2 feet away from my screen, and it's surprisingly good.Â
P.P.S: I wrote this changelog whispering while sitting around people in a cafe.
July 23rd 2024
You can now add words to your personal dictionary. While Flow learns new words automatically, it's not perfect. Use this for words that Flow gets wrong but are important to you.
Go through the todos on the Flow Hub: We talked to 100s of users and came up with the Top 5 activities that people found useful with Flow.
Archive or Delete from history: Easily delete or archive Flowscripts from your History.
July 17th 2024
You asked for it and we added it! A whole new page to see how many words youâve dictated, your Flow streak, and your speaking speed.
Improved language support: Select the language you want Flow to write in
July 4th 2024
We added some new features for reliability. Starting today, you can:
View All Previous Dictations: Access your entire dictation history in one place.
Recover Lost Dictations: Easily retrieve any lost dictations with just a click -- just click retry transcription.
Report Faulty Transcriptions: Help us improve by reporting any flawed transcriptions.
Play Audio: Listen to your recordings to verify the accuracy of transcriptions.
We understand how important it is to have access to your past dictations and ensure their accuracy. The History Section is here to make your experience smoother and more reliable. Whether it's retrieving a lost dictation or reporting a transcription error, we've got you covered!
Your privacy is our top priority. Rest assured that all your transcripts are private and stored locally on your device. This means you have complete control over your data, and it never leaves your device without your permission.
June 19th 2024
This is for all the users who were using the Fn key for something else, or had an external keyboard: you can now select your own keyboard shortcuts.
Even lower latency for longer messages!
Periods are removed by default for casual messaging
Flow is now even better at remembering proper nouns and acronyms
