Hey Product Hunt 🎉 I’m Tanay, co-founder & CEO of Wispr Flow, a Mac dictation app that lets you speak naturally, and writes in your style, in every application — with auto-edits, command mode, and over 100 languages. ⭐ The founding story Ever since I watched the first Ironman movie in 2008 at age 10, I've wanted to build Jarvis. It drove me to pull my first all-nighter and start teaching myself how to code. 16 years later, I think we’ve found a way to make a voice experience delightful for all-day use. And there's no one else I'd build this with than my college roommate and closest friend @sahaj_garg2 Our vision is to make voice interfaces both useful (so you trust them) and ubiquitous (so you can use them everywhere). This is how we can move from screen-first technologies to voice-first technologies and build a future where we aren't stuck looking at our phones all day long. ⭐ Using Flow is super simple: 1. Download Flow for Mac 2. Press and hold [Fn] to start speaking in any app 3. Release [Fn] to enter text ⭐ What users love Flow for - 🛠️ Developers using Cursor / Claude / ChatGPT: Speak with AI assistants faster than typing. - ✉️ Professionals breezing through their inbox: Flow accurately captures names and formats your emails and Slack messages. - 🧑‍🎓 Students chatting with AI and finishing assignments even faster: We have a special student discount. - 📄 Product Managers drafting PRDs and sharing thoughts: Flow turns your rambles into clear ideas. - 👶 Parents with busy lives: Time is precious. Every second you save writing is an extra second you have for family. - 🤖 Tech-lovers who want to use voice with every AI tool ⭐ Here’s all you’ll get with Flow 1.0 — and we’re just getting started. 1. ⚡ Blazing fast dictation: Powered by Flow’s ultra-fast inference engine 2. 🎨 Tone match: You speak differently than you write. Flow learns your writing style across every application 3. 🔧 Auto-edits when you change your mind: “Hey lets meet at 5pm, actually lets do 6pm” → “Hey, lets meet at 6pm” 4. 😎 Command Mode for selected text: Say commands like “Flow, make this crisper and more assertive” without copy-pasting into other tools. 5. 🧩 Native integrations: Select text anywhere and just say: “Ask perplexity, what does this mean?” 6. 😶 Whispering mode: Use Flow around others by quietly whispering to your computer. 7. 🔒 Private by design: Your recordings locally on your computer by default. Only you have access to it. You can allow Flow to use your data to improve our models (disabled by default). Learn more: wispr.ai/data-usage For technical users, most voice dictation tools focus on technical metrics like "word error rate." At Flow, we prioritize what truly matters to users: zero-edit messages. With Flow, you rarely need to return to your keyboard for edits. Our new approach has made Flow the first consumer voice dictation platform that makes people enjoy using voice more than their keyboards. ⭐ A final note Our dream is to create a world where interacting with technology feels as natural as interacting with people. I'd love your help to make this a reality. Try out Flow and share your feedback — we're eager to make it even more magical with your input. PS: A huge shoutout to our thousands of beta users who've showered us with love and feedback over the last few months. We wouldn't be here without you.

@sahaj_garg2 @owenfar Thanks, Owen. Big picture, we're excited about future where people spend less time glued to their screens. We believe voice interfaces are part of that future - that's the bet we've made with Flow 1.0. Excited for you to try it!

Congrats @sahaj_garg2 @tanaykothari on launching a worthy TalkTastic competitor. Overall, the product execution is strong. The UI is minimal and seamless, which has its virtues and drawbacks. This is an excellent start. Kudos! One thing I don't understand, though... You claim "recordings locally on your computer by default" and "private by design," but Wispr Flow doesn't work without internet, which says you are sending user data to the cloud. I'm struggling to reconcile these ideas. How can both be true simultaneously? It doesn't add up. Disclosure: I'm the CEO of TalkTastic, a competitor that integrates Claude 3.5 and launched on Product Hunt in July. Our product runs Whisper locally when you are offline.
Sahaj Garg
Hey Matt! Always great to have some competition :) In our onboarding, we explain our privacy policy to our users -- "Your transcripts are processed securely in the cloud but never stored there. All data is saved locally on your device, nothing on our servers. You have complete control on your transcripts. Only you can view and delete them. We cannot access your data." Cloud transcription is the best way to deliver a high accuracy and low latency experience - but we'll enable more local models in the future!

@sahaj_garg2 @tanaykothari @owenfar I think you took the hyperbole used in their marketing video a little too seriously. It's a good product and I used it to write this message. Even though my keyboard, which I use all the time, is right in front of me.

@sahaj_garg2 @tanaykothari How can I use my EDU email to register? I only see two options, Google and Ample, when I sign up, and there is no option to register with other email addresses.

This is pretty great — love the flow bar above the dock! Oh, and to get a free month of Wispr Pro, you should sign up with my link. 😉

@chrismessina Glad to hear you've been enjoying the product! Thanks to @adityamankare for his designs 🔥
Aditya Mankare
We’re in the era of voice-first design, and I couldn’t be more excited to launch Flow and take it to the next level!
Tanay Kothari
@adityamankare Let's do it 🚀

Sooooo much time is spent translating what's in my head to another person. It took me a few seconds to craft this thought, and about 20x longer to type it out. @tanaykothari – how are people using it today? Do they switch all of their typing to voice dictation or is it mostly used for emails or specific workflows?
Tanay Kothari
@rrhoover Usually people start with one application: Cursor, Slack, email, ChatGPT, Notes and it really becomes a habit. And then subconsciously, they slowly end up using it everywhere. Getting deep into one app is one level of activation, and soon users hit the next level of activation which is using it in 20+ applications.

I started using 3 days ago and now it's now my go-to tool for writing without using the keyboard. Great work team :)
Tanay Kothari
@humblemuzzu Glad to hear it, man
Allan Dickson
@humblemuzzu @tanaykothari Flow has been a transformative application. It's changed the way I use my computer. As an author, I can reduce the amount of time it takes me to write an article by two-thirds utilizing Flow Voice.
Sahaj Garg
@humblemuzzu @tanaykothari @allan_dickson excited to support your writing experiences!!
Anna Filou
It looks very well made. Kind of tempting to switch from BetterDictation, but BetterDictation works completely offline…
Tanay Kothari
@anna_0x We'll work on an offline version in the near future - but it doesn't match the same latency we've been able to get with our cloud models. We've had lots of users switch to Flow for the seamless UI, horsepower of command mode, and iteration speed. Would love to hear your thoughts if you try it!
Sharath Kuruganty
I'm a big fan of audio-first AI products and you guys nailed the use-case. Also the whisper mode is 🔥 PS: Are you guys responding to comments here on PH using flow? 😃
Aditya Mankare
@5harath Thank you! Voice-first design and communication go so hand-in-hand that in hindsight this feels like a no brainer. And yes we are ;)
Advika Jayanti
So excited for everyone to feel the magic of Flow!
Shiva Tejasvi
Wow looks pretty cool, Very soon it will be a gamer changer. Congratulations on your launch @adityamankare and team 🥰
Tanay Kothari
@adityamankare @shiva_tejasvi Appreciate it! Let us know if you have any feedback
Daniel Bessonov
Super excited to share Flow with the world!
Matt Swulinski
Such a good product that I find myself not wanting to type anything on my mobile phone or Windows Desktop & run over to my MacBook to use Wispr Flow!
Tony Carter
This is incredible, Tanay! 🎉 Wispr Flow sounds like a game-changer for anyone looking to boost productivity and simplify their workflow. Your vision of transitioning from screen-first to voice-first technology is inspiring, and it’s exciting to see how Flow can adapt to various needs, from developers to busy parents. The features like tone matching, auto-edits, and whispering mode show a deep understanding of user requirements. Can’t wait to give it a try and see how it enhances my daily tasks! Keep up the fantastic work—you and Sahaj are building something truly special here. 🚀👏 @tanaykothari
Tanay Kothari
@tony_creator ❤️ thanks a lot man! Glad you've been enjoying using the product
Shashank Vemuri
Insanely good product that's become such a core aspect of my workflow that I barely even type anymore. I would say more, but honestly you just have to try out the magic for yourself :)
Constanza Hasselmann
@shashankvemuri simply ✨ magic ✨
Aashrit Garg
Flow really makes you wonder how you were surviving before this. From typing endlessly to now just speaking and making notes, it has made my life a lot easier. And not just notes I am using it almost as a keyboard replacement wherever possible. Thank you team for such a smooth experience!
Tanay Kothari
@aashrit_garg We hear this from a ton of users! Typing doesn't feel the same
Richard Dettmar
Really love how well Flow gets my accent. Even when I mumble it seems to get it right. Excited to see how Flow develops!
Tanay Kothari
@richard_dettmar Great to hear man
Faisal Sayed
Been waiting for this day for quite a while now. Super hyped!
Emma Schneider
Congratulations @tanaykothari on the launch of Wispr Flow! This is an impressive tool that will definitely enhance productivity for Mac users. The ability to dictate naturally and have it formatted perfectly is a game-changer. I'm excited to see how it performs in real-world scenarios! Upvoted and ready to share my experience. Keep up the great work! #Productivity #MVP
Tanay Kothari
@emma_schneider Thanks Emma! We're excited to have it out in the world. Agree formatting is a big pain point with the keyboard, right next to typos
Yanlin Wu
Amazing tool! That would save me a lot of time. Can't wait to put it into use! And I'll recommend it to my colleagues since we're all using Mac at work! Great! Congrats on the launch!
aryaman chawla
Would recommend it to everyone, before trying the product, I felt the use cases for something like this would be pretty limited, but after using Wispr, I can confidently see it being a very imperative part of my daily work!
Constanza Hasselmann
@aryaman_chawla Heck yeah, thanks Aryaman!
Tanay Kothari
@aryaman_chawla Thanks, Aryaman! :)
Janice
Congrats on launching Wispr Flow @chrismessina! The concept is very promising! The ability to speak naturally and have your voice dictation adapted to your writing style is a major step forward. I have a quick question: How does Wispr Flow handle background noise? Ensuring accurate dictation in noisy environments is crucial for some users.
Daniel Bessonov
@janicelewis00 Flow filters out most background noise automatically - our users find that they're able to use it in crowded environments & coffee shops! An external mic (like a gooseneck) can also do wonders!
