Wispr Flow Release Notes

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.

Interrupted dictations and retries

If you've ever started a dictation outside the keyboard and had a phone call, Siri, or the five-minute limit cut you off, you know the worst part was the silence: you had no idea whether your words were saved. Now Flow tells you. When something interrupts a dictation, Flow sends a notification with sound so you know your transcript made it to your history. Tap it and you'll jump straight to that transcript, already copied to your clipboard, with a one-tap copy button right on the row. If a dictation fails instead of finishing, you get a "Tap to retry" notification that kicks off an instant retry.

• Interrupted? You'll know: A gentle notification with sound confirms your transcript is saved whenever a call, Siri, or the time limit cuts a dictation short.
• One tap back to your words: Tapping the notification opens the transcript, auto-copies it, and highlights a copy button on the row.
• Failures retry themselves: A failed dictation sends a "Tap to retry" notification that triggers the retry for you. (Make sure Flow has notification permission so these can reach you.)

One-Tap Retry for Failed Transcripts

Failed transcripts in your history used to be easy to miss, and recovering one meant digging through a context menu. Now they're impossible to overlook: any failed transcript shows up in orange with a "Retry your X:XX transcript" label and a dedicated retry button. Tap the row or the button to retry it instantly. No more wondering whether a transcript was empty or guessing how to get it back.

Always-On Live Dictation Timer

The Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activity now show a running timer for every dictation, not just the ones you start with the Action Button. Whether you kick things off from the keyboard or anywhere else, you'll always have a clear visual signal that Flow is listening, so you can speak with confidence without peeking at the screen or restarting unnecessarily.

Smarter, Faster Backspace

The keyboard's backspace now behaves like the iOS system keyboard. A single tap deletes one character on release, and holding it down speeds up from character-by-character to whole-word deletion after about two seconds, with natural pauses at punctuation. It works across most languages (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali, and more), so cleaning up a long passage no longer means grinding through one character at a time.

The Flow bubble now auto-shrinks after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Choose between a compact icon or a tiny dot, and it even auto-minimizes in search fields so it's never in the way. Tap it anytime to restore and start dictating. Find the setting under Settings 14 Bubble Size.

Cleaner notification tray

We removed the persistent foreground notification that was cluttering your notifications. Flow still runs reliably in the background 14 you just won't see the extra notification anymore.

Copy button after dictation

A quick copy-to-clipboard button now appears next to the bubble after each dictation. Tap it to grab your transcribed text, or let it auto-dismiss after 10 seconds.

Adjustable bubble opacity

If the bubble feels visually distracting over certain apps, you can now dial it back. A new opacity slider in Settings lets you set it anywhere from 20% to 100%.

Reliability improvements

The Flow bubble is more responsive when you tap into text fields, the service recovers automatically if your device's battery manager stops it, and we're now fully compatible with Android 16.
