Wispr Flow Release Notes

20-minute dictations, one-click language switching, custom dictionary on Android, new iOS style controls, and more.

March was a big month. On desktop, we made it dramatically easier to switch languages mid-workflow and extended dictation sessions from 5 to 20 minutes. On Android, Flow now lets you create a custom dictionary so uncommon names and terms are always spelled right. And on iOS, we responded to Apple's iOS 26.4 changes with new tools that give you more control over your writing style than ever before.

Here's everything we shipped:

🖥️ Desktop

Language Picker in the Flow Bar

If you use Flow in more than one language, manually selecting the language you’re dictating in yields the best results but switching languages has been a pain. The new language picker lives right in the Flow Bar, so switching languages is one click away.

Make sure multiple languages are selected in Settings, then hover over the Flow bar to see the different language options pop up.

[Help Center: Use Flow with Multiple Languages]

20-Minute Dictations

Dictation sessions now go up to 20 minutes, 4x the previous limit. Whether you're drafting a long email, recording meeting notes, or thinking through an essay out loud, Flow will keep up with you the entire time. You'll get a heads-up at 19 minutes so you can wrap up naturally.

[Help Center: Longer dictation sessions]

Mouse Flow: Dictate With Your Mouse

You can now bind any non-primary mouse button (anything besides left and right click) to trigger dictation. If you have an external mouse with extra buttons, you can set one up as a push-to-talk or a push-on/push-off shortcut, so you never have to take your hands off the mouse to start dictating.

Here's what's included:

• Core functionality: Bind any non-primary mouse button to start and stop dictation, right from Settings > Shortcuts.
• Send with your mouse too: You can also bind a mouse button to trigger "Enter," so you can dictate and send messages entirely from your mouse.

If you dictate while an external mouse with extra buttons is connected, Flow will let you know Mouse Flow is available and talk you through a guided walkthrough.

[Help Center: Set up Mouse Flow for faster dictation workflows]

Dictionary Upgrades

As custom dictionaries grow, it gets harder to find and manage the words that matter most. This month we added three improvements:

• Star important words: Pin your most critical terms so Flow prioritizes them during transcription.
• Usage-based ranking: Dictionary entries now sort by how often you use them, so your most relevant words are always at the top.
• Smarter auto-add: Auto-add now properly filters apostrophe variants, preventing duplicate entries from cluttering your list.

Dictionary also launched on Android this month (more on that below).

[Help Center: Teach Flow Your Words with the Dictionary]

Shortcuts & Controls

A few updates for users who like to customize how Flow responds to their input:

• Customizable cancel shortcut: The Escape key for cancelling dictation is now fully rebindable. If you use Vim, Terminal, or certain IDEs where Escape already does something, you can set a different key. Find it in Settings > Shortcuts.
• Inline retry for dismissed or failed transcripts: If you accidentally cancelled a dictation by hitting Esc or it errored out, you can now retry it directly from your Hub history instead of re-dictating from scratch. This was one of our most common support requests, so we wanted to make recovery as easy as possible.
• Rebind Enter: You can now assign Enter to a different key, freeing it up for use as a voice command or keeping it for sending messages while you use another key for dictation control.

[Help Center: Supported Keyboard Hotkey Shortcuts]

Smarter Notifications

We overhauled how Flow communicates with you. The goal: less noise, more control, and better feedback when you interact with notifications.

• Redesigned notification UI: Updated visuals and smoother animations make notifications feel less intrusive and more informative at a glance.
• Granular mute controls: You can now mute specific notification categories independently (feature tips, formatting reminders, milestones, and more) instead of toggling all notifications on or off. Find it in Settings > Notifications.
• Click confirmation: Action buttons on notifications now show a checkmark when you tap them, so you always know your click registered. Previously it could feel unresponsive, and you'd wonder if the action actually went through.

[Help Center: Customize Notification Preferences]

More Desktop Updates

• Browser sign-in: The "Sign in via browser" option is now available to everyone. This is especially useful if you use SSO, corporate firewalls, or have a complex auth setup where in-app login doesn't work reliably. [Help Center: Login Issues with Wispr Flow]
• Clamshell mode mic warning: If you use your MacBook with the lid closed at an external display, Flow now warns you when you're still using the built-in microphone, which gets muffled by the closed lid. If you've ever had rough transcriptions at your desk setup without knowing why, this might have been the culprit. Connect an external mic or headphones to get back to full quality. [Help Center: Troubleshooting Mic Issues]
• Additional app/website support in Styles: Flow now recognizes Instagram, Discord, and Signal as personal messaging apps and LinkedIn as a work messaging app, applying the associated conversational writing style when you dictate in them. [Help Center: How to setup Flow Styles]

Security & Privacy

• HIPAA BAA access: Enterprise users with HIPAA Business Associate Agreements can now view signing details and download the agreement as a PDF directly from Settings > Account. No more digging through email to find your compliance paperwork. [Help Center: HIPAA Compliance & Healthcare Use]

Desktop Stability & Reliability

We're continuously fixing the small things that add up to a smoother experience. This month's improvements include: fewer duplicate notification sounds, better recovery after your machine wakes from sleep, improved responsiveness when starting and stopping dictation, and several UI fixes on Windows. If Flow has felt more solid lately, this is why.

🤖 Android

Custom Dictionary

Android users can now teach Flow their vocabulary. If Flow keeps getting your name, your company's name, or industry jargon wrong, open Dictionary in Settings and add the words you need. Flow will prioritize them during transcription going forward. Full add, edit, delete, and search support, with a polished UI that matches the desktop experience.

[Help Center: Teach Flow Your Words with the Dictionary]

Context-Aware Dictation

Flow on Android now reads the surrounding text in your input field before transcribing. That means it can continue your sentences naturally, match the tone of what you've already typed, and avoid repeating words. If you start typing a thought and switch to dictation halfway through, Flow picks up right where you left off. This is the same intelligence that powers Flow on desktop, and it's a big step toward full platform parity.

[Help Center: Context Awareness]

Banking App Privacy Protection (50+ Apps Globally)

Flow now automatically pauses in 50+ banking and financial apps across the US, UK, Europe, India, Asia, Latin America, and South Africa. No setup needed: if you're in a recognized financial app, dictation pauses automatically. This was a big gap for international users whose local banking apps weren't covered previously. Privacy in financial apps is non-negotiable.

[Help Center: Banking App Detection Support]

Secure Sign-Out

Signing out now shows a confirmation dialog and securely deletes local transcripts, protecting your data on shared or managed devices.

[Help Center: Switching Accounts on Android]

Quality-of-Life Improvements

We've been listening to what trips people up on Android, and this month we tackled a bunch of the most common friction points:

• Tap transcript to copy: Tap any transcript card in your history to copy the text to your clipboard instantly. Useful when you want to paste a transcription into a different app without extra steps. [Help Center: Starting Your First Dictation on Android]
• "Copy Last" in notification shade: The persistent notification now includes a "Copy Last" button, so you can grab your most recent transcription without even opening the app. [Help Center: Customize Notification Preferences]
• Keep screen on during dictation: Your screen no longer sleeps mid-sentence during longer dictation sessions. If you've ever been halfway through a thought and had your screen go dark, this one's for you. [Help Center: Android Troubleshooting]
• Dictation session time management: You'll now see a gentle warning as you approach the 5-minute session limit, and the session auto-saves when it reaches the cap. Start a new session to keep going. This prevents accidental long-running sessions from draining your battery or producing unwieldy transcripts. [Help Center: Dictation Session Time Limits on Android]
• Retry failed transcriptions: If a transcription fails because of connectivity issues or a server error, the audio is now preserved in your history. You can retry it anytime without re-dictating. You'll never lose a recording again.
• Service not running warning: Android sometimes kills background services without telling you. If the accessibility service stops, the home screen now shows a clear warning card with a one-tap fix to re-enable it, so you're never stuck wondering why dictation isn't working. [Help Center: Android Troubleshooting]

Android Stability & Reliability

We squashed a lot of bugs this month. Fixes include: crashes on Samsung devices with disabled default browsers, text landing in the wrong input field when switching between fields quickly, the waveform animation not responding at the start of dictation, and several accessibility framework issues that were causing unexpected behavior. If dictation on Android feels more solid this month, these are why.

[Help Center: Android Troubleshooting]

📱 iOS

Adapting to iOS 26.4

Apple changed how third-party keyboards work in iOS 26.4, and it affected two core parts of the Flow experience. We moved fast to minimize the friction and give you new ways to control your writing style.

What changed (these are Apple platform changes, not something we control):

• Quick swipe to start: In many apps, tapping "Start Flow" used to briefly open the Flow app and automatically return you to what you were doing. After iOS 26.4, you'll need to swipe back to your app manually. Voice-to-text still works exactly as before once you're back in your app.
• Styles no longer auto-adjust by app: Flow adjusted formatting depending on which app you were typing in (more formal in email, more casual in messaging apps). iOS 26.4 removed that ability. Your default style now applies everywhere.

What we shipped to help:

• Default style settings in the app: Set your preferred writing style in the Style tab, and it applies across all apps. You can update it anytime.
• Quick Style Switcher on the keyboard: A new style pill appears above the keyboard, letting you tap to temporarily switch your style for any conversation without leaving the app you're in. The override resets back to the default style after 15 minutes of inactivity.
• Both features are available for users with English, British English, or auto-detect language settings.

Desktop and Android are unaffected. You'll continue to get the full seamless experience there.

The full Wispr Flow experience is now available on Android for

early access

! And for a limited time, Flow for Android will offer

free, unlimited dictation

for ALL users.

This is not just a “mobile version” of Flow. It’s the same core dictation system that runs on Desktop, now optimized for Android’s system-level access.

Core dictation experience

Android includes the core Flow dictation experience:

• Unlimited dictation with no word limits
• Auto punctuation based on pauses and tone
• Automatic formatting of numbered lists
• Filler word removal, including “um” and “uh”
• Real-time self-corrections, such as “4 pm, actually 3 pm” updating automatically
• Support for 100+ languages, including Español, Português, Français, Italiano, ไทย, 中文, हिंदी, and even Hinglish 🇮🇳

How it works on Android

Flow does not replace your keyboard.

Instead of acting as a keyboard, Flow appears as a floating bubble whenever you’re in a text field. Tap it to dictate. It disappears when you’re not typing.

Because Android allows deeper system-level access, Flow runs across apps without requiring keyboard switching. It works in most apps that use standard Android text fields.

Video Player

What’s not yet available on Android

The following features are currently available on Desktop and are coming to Android in future updates:

• Dictionary which automatically learns corrected spellings
• Snippets for reusable voice shortcuts
• Styles for customizing punctuation and capitalization depending on the app
• Context recognition so you can spell uncommon names right in Slack or email

Devices

Flow supports Android OS 13 or newer on phones from all major manufacturers.

Tablets and Chromebooks are supported, but not yet optimized.

Subscription and sync

If you’re logged into the same account, your subscription and account settings sync across devices.

However, transcript history remains separate between Desktop and Android.

Where this fits

With Android now live, Flow runs on Android, iPhone, Mac, and Windows.

The core experience is consistent across devices. Android is optimized for fast, on-the-go communication with the same real-time editing system.

Additional Android-specific improvements and feature parity with Desktop are already in progress.

Download Flow for Android and start dictating now!

Flow Pro restructuring

Flow Pro has been restructured to make it easier than ever for teams to start using Wispr Flow together.

Every teammate you invite now receives a 14-day Flow Pro trial, with no upfront payment, no seat minimums, and no domain restrictions.

Before

Previously, Flow’s plans were split into four tiers:

• Flow Basic: for individual users whose 14-day free trial of Flow Pro had ran out
• Flow Pro: for individual users who need unlimited dictation, priority support, and/or early access to new features
• Flow Teams: required upfront payment, a minimum of 3 seats, and no free trials for new teammates.
• Flow Enterprise: for organizations needing advanced compliance and SSO/SAML.

This structure made it harder for smaller or fast-moving teams to experiment with Flow collaboratively before committing.

Now

Flow Pro now supports both individuals and teams, combining flexibility with simplicity:

• Free 14-day Pro trials for every invited teammate, even if they’ve already tried Pro as an individual
• No upfront payment required to add members or start a team
• No seat minimums: teams can start with one member and scale naturally
• (Coming Soon) Usage dashboards for team admins to track usage by week and by website. Advanced usage stats for enterprise accounts only.

And as always, we offer:

• No domain restrictions: invite teammates using work or personal emails (limited to one team per domain, except for consumer domains such as @gmail.com).
• Centralized billing and admin controls for easy team management.
• Shared Snippets and Dictionaries

These changes make Flow adoption frictionless, letting teams collaborate in real workflows before deciding to upgrade together.

Flow Enterprise

Flow Enterprise remains available for larger organizations or teams with advanced compliance needs, including:

• SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance
• Enforced HIPAA and Zero Data Retention
• SSO/SAML integration
• Bulk pricing
• Advanced usage dashboards (coming soon)

Teams can start on Flow Pro and upgrade seamlessly when additional security or administrative controls are required.

Personalized Style

Previously, Flow automatically formatted your text differently depending on whether you were in an email app or a messaging app. In
emails
, Flow used full punctuation, capitalization, and line breaks to look polished. In
messaging apps
, Flow made things a bit lighter and more casual.

That worked fine for most people, but it didn’t always reflect your personal writing style.

Now with
Personalized Style
, you now decide how Flow formats your text based on the type of app, so you always sound like
you
.

Choose your preferred formatting for each type of app:

• Personal messaging apps (iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram)
• Work messaging apps (Slack, Teams)
• Email apps (Gmail, Outlook, Superhuman)
• Other apps (Docs, Notes, ChatGPT, etc.)

Depending on the app category, you’ll be able to choose from
Very Casual, Casual, Excited, or Formal.
Flow will automatically apply your chosen
punctuation
and
capitalization
whenever you dictate. However, your words stay yours: Flow won't alter your grammar, phrasing, or word choice.

To try it out

To try it out, open your Flow Desktop app and go to Style from your lefthand navigation.

Note: This feature is currently only available on Desktop, coming soon to iPhone. In the interim, there's a simpler version called
Casual tone while messaging
under
Settings → Personalization.

Flow just got even sharper for developers working in Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub, and more.

Variable Recognition (new)

Flow now parses your speech with full syntax awareness:

• Handles camelCase, snake_case, and acronyms
• Preserves exact spacing and formatting
• Understands CLI commands and dev jargon

Example: say “SSH into EC2, tail the logs in tmux, and grep the timestamp” — Flow captures it precisely.

File Tagging (already live)

Mention a filename (e.g. authCheck.ts) and Flow automatically tags it in Cursor and Windsurf. Your spoken prompts become more complete, so AI agents return more precise results.

Why it matters:

Together, Variable Recognition + File Tagging remove the biggest friction in voice coding. You can speak naturally and trust Flow to handle both your ideas and your syntax.

How to get started:

• Update to the latest version of the Flow desktop app.
• File Tagging is on by default (Settings → Vibe Coding if you’d like to turn it off).
• Variable Recognition works automatically in GitHub, terminals, and Notion. In Cursor/Windsurf, enable it via Settings → Vibe Coding → Variable Recognition.
• Try saying: “Fix the auth bug in authCheck.ts, variable isLoginError is false by default.” Flow tags the file, recognizes the variable, and upgrades your prompt — all hands-free.

Flow for Business

Flow for Business just got three major updates that transform it from individual productivity hack to team superpower:

• Team Dictionary lets you add your team’s names, jargon, and acronyms to a shared dictionary so that communication stays clean and consistent.
• Team Snippets let you create voice shortcuts for the things your team says repeatedly, like scheduling links, customer follow-ups, and FAQs. Just say the word and Flow inserts the fully polished text.
• Enterprise-grade security means you can Enforce Zero Data Retention, SOC 2 Type II, and HIPAA compliance for your entire team, with centralized billing and administration. (Advanced security features for Enterprise plans only.)

HIPAA-compliant workflows across all plans and devices

Flow now supports HIPAA-compliant workflows across all plans and devices. Whether you're a healthcare professional handling patient data, a startup founder reviewing sensitive research, or anyone working with confidential information—you can dictate with enterprise-grade privacy protection.

Previously, HIPAA compliance was limited to Enterprise customers. Now it's available to everyone who needs it, from solo practitioners to large medical teams.

How to get started if you're an enterprise user

• Go to your admin dashboard
• View and accept the Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

If you're an individual user

• Open the app on desktop or iOS
• Click the settings button
• Go to Data & Privacy Settings
• View and accept the Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

Accepting the BAA will enable HIPAA compliance and turn on Privacy Mode, which ensures zero data retention—meaning none of your dictation data will ever be stored or used for model training by us or any third party.

Building on our SOC 2 Type II certification for Enterprise customers, HIPAA readiness extends our commitment to making security and privacy accessible to teams of every size. We now meet the compliance standards that power companies like Rippling and Superhuman, as well as the healthcare-grade protection that hospitals and clinics require.

Original source

Flow now supports automatic file tagging through voice commands in Cursor and Windsurf.

Flow will automatically tag the relevant files in your workspace.

See it in action with our CTO:

Even if you're already using voice-first development with Flow, you have to go back to typing to tag files. Now you can stay in your voice workflow. No more stopping mid-thought to click around or hunt for files when you're deep in the zone.

This was our most requested feature—90% of user messages asked for voice file tagging. Our CEO Tanay recently wrote about why solving this problem matters so much to him as a founder and developer.

Coming Soon

More voice coding features are on the way. Stay tuned!
