Wispr Flow Release Notes

Admins can now turn Notetaker on or off for their entire organization from the admin portal with a single toggle, enforced across every member's account. There's a confirmation step before disabling, so it never happens by accident.

New self-serve Growth plans:

Teams can now buy a new Growth plan straight from the admin portal, choosing dictation-only or bundling in unlimited Notetaker, with monthly or annual billing shown per currency. Upgrade your whole team in a couple of clicks with most of the features of our Enterprise plan, no sales call required.

Signing in with Google on Android now happens in a secure in-app browser tab that returns you straight to Wispr Flow. No more landing on a random browser tab, an old page, or the Wispr Flow website after picking your account. If your sign-in gets interrupted, a resume prompt lets you pick up right where you left off.

Find it: automatic, the sign-in screen the first time you open Flow or sign back in.

Reports That Never Get Lost

Issue reports, feedback, and transcription reports now keep sending even if you leave the screen. You'll get a confirmation wherever you are in the app, and the form clearly shows when it's busy: a spinner, a dimmed Send button, and a short note explaining why it's temporarily locked.

Find it: Dashboard menu > Report an issue or Share feedback, and Home > any transcript > Report.

For Teams & Enterprise

• Daily teammates added digest: Admins now get a daily email summarizing every teammate who joined the workspace in the last 24 hours, whether they came in through domain auto-add, SCIM, or an invite link, so seat growth (and the bill) never comes as a surprise. Admins who don't want it can turn it off from the admin portal.
• Team trials for every joiner: Anyone joining a team for the first time now receives a 14-day trial, even if the team is already on a paid plan. New team members will not be billed until the first 2 weeks are complete.

Shortcuts & Controls

• A clear "Done" button in Shortcuts: The Shortcuts dialog now has a primary Done button, so you always know when you're finished. Your shortcuts still save automatically the moment you set them, Done just closes the dialog.
• Hands-free made simpler: Double-tapping your Push-to-talk hotkey has always toggled Hands-free mode, and now the Shortcuts editor shows you a live hint built from your own keys so you don't have to guess. The dedicated Hands-free shortcut is also fully optional now: delete it and it stays gone.

Help Center: Use Flow hands-free

A Smoother Windows Experience

• A quieter startup: Flow now starts quietly in the background when it launches at login, instead of popping the hub window open. Your tray icon and Flow bar are ready immediately, and a restart you trigger yourself still brings the hub back.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

• Straight back to Flow after connecting apps: Connecting Notion, Google Calendar, or any other integration now brings you right back into Flow once the connection succeeds, with a redesigned confirmation page that names exactly what you just connected.
• A fresh look at sign-in: The desktop login screen has a redesign, with new full-motion slides showing what Flow can do while you sign in.
• Confirm before exiting the Notetaker tutorial: Closing the Notetaker guided tour now asks you to confirm instead of quitting instantly, so an accidental click or stray Esc doesn't wipe out your progress.

Flow now lets you pick virtual and routing audio devices, like Krisp, NVIDIA Broadcast, BlackHole, or VDI redirects, as your dictation mic. If you run your voice through a noise-suppression tool or work in a virtual desktop session, you can finally point Flow at exactly the mic you want.

Virtual inputs live behind a "Show other devices" expander, so nothing changes if you don't use them, and Flow won't auto-select a loopback device on you. Automatic mic selection stays safely on your real, physical microphones.

Find it: Settings > Microphone, or the mic switcher on the Flow bar.

Help Center: Using Wispr Flow Discreetly (Microphone Guide)

Available on: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android

Dictating in an open office, a coffee shop, or on a packed train? Flow understands whispers as accurately as normal speech — the closer your mic sits to your mouth, the quieter you can speak.

When to use it

Use discreet dictation when you want to:

• Dictate in a shared office without disturbing coworkers
• Use Flow in public spaces like coffee shops or airports
• Keep voice notes private in open environments
• Capture a thought on the go without taking your phone out of your pocket

How it works in Flow

Overview

Mac and Windows offer in-app microphone selection and a Microphone Quiz. iOS lets you dictate from the in-app mic button, the lock screen widget, a Control Center toggle, or a Siri command. On Android, the Flow Bubble appears above your keyboard in any text field.

Key behaviors by platform

Why earbuds and AirPods fall short

Earbuds and AirPods work fine at normal speaking volume but struggle with whispers. If you mostly work around others, an external microphone gives the best results.

• The mic is too far from your mouth. Earbud microphones sit on the cable or in the housing — typically 6 to 8 inches from your lips, where a whisper barely registers above ambient noise.
• Bluetooth adds its own problems. Wireless earbuds like AirPods and Galaxy Buds compress audio and add delay that degrades whisper accuracy; AirPods may be slow to activate the mic, causing missed words at the start of a session.
• Wired earbuds are only slightly better. No compression issue, but the same mic-distance problem.

Any microphone within a couple of inches of your mouth dramatically improves whisper dictation.

Microphone options

• Clip-on lav mics — best for on the go
• Attachable boom mics — upgrade your headphones
• Podcast mics — best desk audio quality
• Gooseneck mics — hands-free desk setup

Best practices

• Position the mic close. The closer it is to your mouth, the quieter you can speak.
• Enunciate clearly. Many people mumble when they whisper.
• Select your mic manually (Mac and Windows). Choose your mic in Flow's mic picker instead of Auto-detect. If the volume bars move when you talk, your setup is working.
• Set your system default (Mac and Windows). Make sure your OS Sound settings and Flow agree on which mic to use — the most common source of Auto-detect issues.
• Restart Flow after switching devices. Quit and relaunch Flow after plugging in a headset or swapping from Bluetooth to wired.
• Disable virtual microphones. Apps like NVIDIA Broadcast, VoiceMeeter, and Teams Audio can intercept your input and cause unexpected behavior.
• Stay consistent. Use the same mic regularly so results stay predictable.
• Use Siri on iOS. Say "Dictate a Flow note" to dictate hands-free without taking your phone out of your pocket.

Limitations and notes

• Discreet dictation is available on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
• The built-in Mac microphone is unavailable in clamshell mode — an external mic is required.
• The lock screen widget, Control Center toggle, and Siri shortcuts are iOS only.
• On iOS, Flow has no in-app microphone selection — it always uses the system default input, so mic choice depends on which device is connected or selected at the OS level. If you deny microphone access, enable it later in the iOS system Settings for Wispr Flow.
• On Android, if you deny microphone access, go to Settings > Apps > Wispr Flow > Permissions and enable Microphone manually.
• On Android, the Flow Bubble requires accessibility service and "display over other apps" permissions. Some manufacturers require additional setup — see Setup Wispr Flow on Android.
• Scratch Pad is available on Mac, Windows, and iOS. Android is not yet supported.
• Dictation sounds are always on and cannot be disabled on Android. On desktop they can be turned off in Settings → System → Sound; on iOS, in Settings → Audio → "Interaction Sounds."

Today we're launching Wispr Flow Notetaker, our first product beyond dictation.

It records your meetings, gets your words, names, and speakers right, and turns the conversation into transcripts and summaries you can act on. No bot joins your call, and it works on every meeting platform.

Where the accuracy comes from.

Most notetakers hear a meeting cold. Notetaker walks in with context you've already built:

• The personal dictionary you've trained in Flow carries over, so your acronyms, product names, and industry terms come out spelled right.
• Speaker names come from the calendar invite, so "Biswaroop" doesn't become "Bishop" and the action item lands on the right person.
• You get a live transcript during the meeting. When it ends, Notetaker re-reads the entire recording with that context, which is where speaker names get attached and everything comes out sharper.

Accuracy matters more now that meeting notes feed your other tools. Everything Notetaker produces is available over MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, or your own agents, and a wrong name in the transcript doesn't get caught downstream. It just travels.

What it does:

• It works wherever your meetings happen: Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, even Slack huddles. It runs on your device and captures conversations that were never on your calendar with one tap.
• Summaries are organized by topic, with the decisions and who owes what.
• You can ask questions across your entire meeting history, with answers linked back to the exact moment in the transcript.
• If your attention drifts mid-meeting, it catches you up on what you missed.
• Pre-meeting briefs pull from your notes, Slack, and the web, with every line linked to its source. These are available for external meetings at launch, and will be available for internal meetings on Pro accounts in the future.

It's included in Wispr Flow as part of your existing plan: speaker labels, ask-anything, and MCP access. No credit card, no commitments. Pro just keeps more meetings for longer.

Available now on Mac, with Windows on the way. If you see "coming soon" in the app, connect your calendar and Slack to unlock access instantly.

Rank your microphones once and Flow uses your top available one without you switching manually. Plug in a headset and Flow picks it up; unplug it mid-dictation and Flow falls back to your next-ranked mic without interrupting you.

Find it: Settings > General > Microphone

Keep dictating when you dock your laptop (clamshell mode)

Close your laptop lid and Flow switches to your highest-ranked external mic on its own instead of interrupting you with a notification, then returns to your built-in mic when you open it again. Reordering mics in settings now applies instantly, with no need to restart recording.

Snippets previously only supported plain text. Now they support bold, italic, links, lists, and more, allowing richer, more expressive content. When you paste a snippet, the formatting is preserved in any app. If you use the same snippet on iOS or Android, it'll paste as plain text for now.

Pro teams now get a leaderboard

The leaderboard used to be an Enterprise-only feature. Now it's available to Pro teams too. See how you rank against your teammates, track who's been dictating the most, and share the standings with your group.

Find it under Wispr Flow > Insights > Leaderboard.

Teams: Invite multiple teammates at once

Adding multiple people to your team used to mean inviting one email at a time. We've streamlined it: admins can now add several email addresses and send all the invites at once. Everyone receives an invite email immediately, and you can track who has accepted from the Teams page in the Admin Portal.

Reliability and accuracy are the core of what Flow does. Here's where things stand:

• Uptime: Dictation stayed up and running 99.9% of the time over the past few weeks.
• Speed: Dictation latency is down 30% since the start of the year, and it's still coming down.
• Accuracy: We tracked the biggest driver of recent accuracy issues to an Auto Cleanup setting that was too aggressive for some users. That's fixed now.

Put the Flow Bar wherever works best for you

The Flow Bar used to sit fixed at the bottom of your screen, which meant it could land right on top of something you needed next, like the send button in Gmail. Now you can drag it to the left or right edge instead, so it's out of the way of whatever you're actually doing. On Mac, that also means it's no longer sitting on top of your dock.

It remembers your position too, so it stays put instead of resetting every time you reopen Flow.

Just click and drag the Flow Bar to reposition it.

Canadian English

English-speaking users in Canada now get a friendly, one-time nudge to switch to Canadian English. A single tap swaps in the Canadian dictionary so spellings like "colour" and "centre" come out just right.

We shipped this on Canada Day. Seemed like the right day for it.

Find it: Go to Settings > General > Dictation Languages.
