Wispr Flow fits people who prefer speaking a first draft and then editing it in their usual application. Its dictation workflow can be useful for an email, an outline or a development brief, but automatic cleanup should not decide what you meant by a number or deadline. Test names and technical terms before relying on it for a long draft. The product also offers meeting-related features; those have their own allowance and platform details. Choose typing or a different audio workflow when speaking is impractical or the destination application cannot be accessed safely.
Getting started (documentation-based; not a hands-on product test):
- Install the app for the supported platform and grant only needed permissions.
- Add a few recurring proper names to the dictionary.
- Dictate a short message in a safe draft field.
- Check names, numbers and tone before sending it.
Example task (illustrative):
Draft a fictional project update: delivery moved to Friday, with three pending checks.

Free plan and limits (checked 29 October 2026)
Wispr's pricing page lists the Free plan at $0 with dictation on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android in 100+ languages, a personal dictionary and snippets, and a limited Notetaker. The weekly limit is 2,000 words on desktop and "limited" on mobile. Wispr's help pages add detail: on Mac and Windows 2,000 words is the allowance at which Flow slows down and 5,000 is the maximum at which dictation is blocked; on iOS the allowance is 550 words (maximum 750); on Android the help pages give 3,000 words a week, and say the in-app text may still show 1,000. Wispr says your weekly limit can change without an app update, and its own pages state the weekly reset time in different ways, so check the app.
What it costs
Pro is $15 per user a month billed monthly, or $12 a month billed yearly ($144 a year), with no weekly word limit. Growth is listed at $23 per user a month for dictation only or $33 with the Notetaker, and Enterprise is custom. The help pages say default trials last 14 days (30 with a referral, 90 for students). Students and educators with an education email get 50% off, per the pricing page. Notetaker works on Mac and Windows only. Our free AI plan changes page tracks changes like these.
Privacy basics
Wispr's privacy page says nothing is captured until you press your shortcut, transcription happens in the cloud, audio is deleted as soon as it is transcribed unless you turn on cloud storage, and model training is a setting you can turn off (off and locked on Growth and Enterprise). Read the current privacy policy before dictating anything sensitive.
