I use wispr with singular use case - enter text faster than I can type. Why are we being forced with this and we cant even turn it off :/
Fn key on mac also has other uses. Every time I use it for something else, scratchpad opens and my active desktop switches to the one with scratchpad. So annoying
I am a new user. I'm looking for different usages for the app. If you don't mind sharing how you use the app and what it does for you, I'd really appreciate it.
Hey all - posting this in case it saves anyone the debugging headache I just went through.
I've been having an intermittent issue on my MacBook Air M3 where the Touch ID prompt would flash up briefly during Apple Pay in Safari then immediately disappear, leaving only a Cancel button. Totally random - worked sometimes, failed other times.
After a lot of trial and error I narrowed it down to WisprFlow. Quitting it completely restored Apple Pay to normal, every time.
From what I can tell, WisprFlow runs some kind of overlay or focus-interfering process that Apple Pay's security mechanism doesn't like. Apple Pay appears to check that it has clean, unobstructed window focus before allowing Touch ID authentication - and something about WisprFlow breaks that check.
Fix: Quit WisprFlow before making a payment, the fingerprint thing comes back and it works fine.
Would be great if the devs could look into this - ideally WisprFlow should yield focus properly when a payment dialog is active.
Hope this helps someone.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Wispr, and I use it on my Android phone and on my iPhone. On iOS, without the use of a keyboard, I find it quite useless. Right now I find myself using Wispr Flow on Android and Willow on iOS, at least Willow as a keyboard you can use, because let's face it, Wispr isn't always perfect.
I've been using Wispr Flow for the last two days. I've dictated like 4,000 words and I'm not even a blogger or a long-form content writer. I'm just speaking out my texts, my replies to people on WhatsApp, my chats with ChatGPT, even this post on Reddit. I'm just using Wispr Flow to dictate. To be honest I think this is the best thing that I've ever used in a long time and I think that this is just fantastic .This is so good that I paid for it in like two days
For the love of God, why is there not a dark mode in this application? It's 2026, for crying out loud.
Trying to build an iPhone Shortcut that uses Wispr Flow for dictation, then passes the dictated text into the next Shortcut action automatically.
Goal:
- Trigger Shortcut
- Start Wispr Flow dictation
- Stop dictation
- Capture the transcribed text output
- Use that text in another Shortcut action
Right now I can launch Wispr Flow, but I can't figure out how to reliably pass the dictated text back into Shortcuts as a variable/output.
Has anyone here successfully set this up?
Would appreciate screenshots, Shortcut examples, or any workaround ideas.
Wispr Flow is fantastic when I'm at my computer and I've got a microphone nearby and I can just go fully stream of consciousness. It's super accurate and it lets me just put all my thoughts out there, and it captures everything perfectly. I love it.
But sometimes I like to just go on a walk, and I've got my iPhone in my pocket and I've got my AirPods in. I want to be able to dictate thoughts as they pop into my head, or I want to be able to go on a long stream of consciousness with my AI and get all those ideas captured.
The times I've tried to do this with Wispr Flow, it's been horribly inaccurate. Very commonly I will do a 60 second mind dump, and for what should have been a couple paragraphs Wispr Flow gives back to me like two sentences. So many of the thoughts that I had said don't even show up at all, and the two sentences themselves are vaguely related to what I had said. All of those thoughts lost. It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure if Wispr Flow is the best use case for this situation.
I'm wondering what other people might recommend for this type of use case. Should I be using Apple's built-in iOS dictation? Is there some other app that would work better in this situation?
Or am I somehow using Wispr Flow wrong? I’ve read there are known issues with AirPods. Should I take the AirPods out of my ears and just hold my microphone up to my mouth and speak straight into the iPhone? I'm trying to figure out what other people in this situation do that works for them. Thanks for your help.

Built a little “family radio station” for my Amma with u/lovable + u/wisprflow built for mums showcase. 💛
While thinking about what to build, one realisation hit me hard: my mum messages me every single day, but she rarely calls because she thinks she might disturb me.
And I think of her all the time too.
But somewhere between work, kids, school runs and life, communication turns into quick replies, short calls, and “important” updates only.
I started thinking about all the tiny moments that never get shared because they don’t feel important enough.
So I built Amma Radio.
A quiet little family radio station where people can leave small sounds and photos from their day without the pressure of replies, read receipts, or active conversation. More like tuning into each other’s lives whenever you want.
Built the prototype using Lovable + Wispr Flow. Still early, but this was such a meaningful thing to build 💛
Would genuinely love thoughts and feedback from this community.

Made a small app called Bloom for the Built for Moms hackathon — a calm, warm planner for moms that handles meals, schedules, grocery generation, and ends with a little Mother's Day card.
What I want to say specifically here: I dictated every single prompt in this build through Wispr Flow.
No typing. It honestly made the whole thing 3-4x faster than typing, being able to think out loud and watch a working prompt land in Lovable's chat is kind of magical.
Open to any feedback or suggestions on how I could've built it better. Thanks for making such a useful tool and happy Mother's Day to everyone.
(I haven't put the link to my submission video or the app just wanted to share it here because I thought it was pretty cool)
Today, we're announcing a 48-hour Mother's Day hackathon with Lovable. Build something for the moms in your life: a planning tool, a recipe app, a memory book, whatever you think might make her smile or make her life easier.
Sons, daughters, fathers, partners, grandkids, and friends of moms are all welcome to participate!
What's Lovable?
Lovable lets you build real, working apps just by describing what you want. No engineering team, no technical skills. You tell it what to build and it builds it.
Why Wispr Flow + Lovable
Lovable is prompt-driven, so output quality depends on how well you describe what you want. When you use Wispr Flow to speak your prompts instead of typing, you naturally give more detail and context. Better prompts, better builds.
Our Chief of Staff Lyndall demoed this by building a childcare planning app while holding a baby. (Sound on for baby noises!)

I’m trying to share a Shure MV7+ between two Macs for Wispr Flow without manually switching the USB connection back and forth.
Shure says the MV7+ can output over USB and XLR simultaneously, so in theory both Macs should be able to “hear” the mic at the same time. My question is whether Wispr Flow works reliably with the XLR/interface side.
Has anyone here used Wispr Flow with an XLR mic through a USB audio interface? Any issues with Flow only picking up one channel/input? For example, does the mic need to be on input 1/left channel?
Also curious if anyone has specifically tried this with the MV7+ and whether the XLR side is good enough for dictation compared with the USB side.
I have two workstations next to each other and go back and forth to each. Currently I manually unplug the mic each time I switch between them. Trying to find a best solution. A USC-C switch would work I'm sure but the above setup would be even better.
Most AI apps today feel technical, robotic, or stressful to use.
So I built MomMate — a voice-first AI companion made specially for mothers.
Instead of opening many different apps for reminders, recipes, schedules, shopping lists, memories, journaling, and support, MomMate brings everything into one calm experience.
Some features:
Continuous AI voice assistant
Real-time speech-to-text + voice replies
Smart reminders and schedules
Kitchen and gardening assistant
Family memory space
AI journaling and diary
Mom Circle community for mothers
Calling, messaging, and email support through voice commands
I focused heavily on:
emotional and calming UI
cinematic animations
luxurious futuristic design
natural voice interaction
The goal was simple: Create an AI product that actually feels warm, helpful, and human.
Would genuinely love feedback from the community 🙌
