Wispr Flow
AI voice dictation for macOS. Works in any app - code editors, browsers, notes. Understands context and formats output appropriately. Faster than typing for prose.
Wispr Flow is a macOS dictation tool that uses AI to transcribe speech with near-perfect accuracy in any application. What makes it special is context awareness - it formats differently depending on the app. In a code editor, it writes code syntax. In a notes app, it writes prose. In a chat app, it writes casually. I use it for drafting video scripts, writing long Slack messages, and brain-dumping ideas into Obsidian. It's dramatically faster than typing for anything longer than a sentence.
