I've been playing with this today, and I have to say wow, this works so much better than I assumed it would. I actually use Apple's built-in dictation quite a bit, but I have to speak my punctuation and I often stop to edit which ruins my flow. I also use other voice notes apps a lot and then I'll accidentally speak the punctuation within those and I'm just confusing myself. With this I can have one streamlined way of collecting or expressing my thoughts. I am just really loving it so far. Yes, I did write this using the app itself.
wasted an hour onboarding and another hour trying to remove wisprflow from my computer. They have greyed out the 'uninstall' button. Thanks wisprflow, you shady horrible company - DO NOT INSTALL, i wish i had read the reddit posts beforehand - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! i still cannot delete this damn app!!! wasted my whole evening on this disaster tool
Used it for multiple regional as well as global languages for some fun stress-testing. Gotta say, love the accuracy of the multilingual scripts and dialects, and that's especially impressive given that this is only the first iteration of such a product. Certainly beats the multilingual support of all the big-shot voice dictation offerings that I've dipped my toes into over the years - and by a large margin. Talk of a moat! From an ethical perspective, I really appreciated that the toggle on personal data usage for training Wispr's models is off by default. I know you guys didn't NEED to do that (given that none of the leading AI companies leave it off by default), but the fact that you chose to do it anyway shows your broader commitment to doing the right thing and makes me feel like I can trust Wispr with my most crucial personal and professional correspondence without worrying about anything shady going on under the hood with my data, be it behavioural data or otherwise. Not to mention, for a company that aims to radically boosts the ways in which everyday people interface with any and all computers, I don't know if there could be a higher honour than getting an endorsement from Woz, who's essentially the father of the personal computer revolution. I know he rarely offers such an endorsement, which makes this one mean all the more for Flow's credibility in the eyes of a veteran tinkerer. Will Flow offer models other than Perplexity in future releases?
I've abused my shoulders and wrists for too long, but no more thanks to Wispr Flow!
Flawless voice dictation! Works like magic! Actually it can be quite addictive!
Really hands-down the best AI dictation tool on a Mac, very deeply integrated, very simple configuration including for multilingual input. I compared it with quite a few other options including Apple Dictation and SuperWhisper. Wispr Flow is clearly much better out of the box. I've gotten so used to it, I probably write 80% of my content directly with Wispr. It completely changed the game for me in terms of speed and ease of interaction with computers.

Glad to hear it, Melissa! I've also been using Flow for audio journaling - such a quick way to clear my thoughts
