Cancel WisprFlow for Raycast Dictation?

I'm a Raycast free user and a paid WisprFlow user. My experimentation has shown Raycast's dictation and WisprFlow's to be equally good.

I'm strongly considering canceling my Whisperflow subscription and buying Raycast Pro instead. Question for those who have used both apps for dictation: has anyone decided to stick with WisprFlow? If so, why?

AI Provider without using Raycast proxy

Hi, I've been checking the v2 for openrouter support (which is not implemented, is it planned?) and came upon this message: Requests are securely routed through Raycast's servers to ensure a consistent experience.

This reads like any bullshit corporate speak does.

Anyway, can we opt out of this? I do not want a consistent experience. I want to be able to provide base URLs in my local network. I do not want you guys to listen in to every interaction I have with AI.

Set better shortcuts for Dictate (and whole raycast)

Quite simple: I'm trying to move from Wispr Flow to Raycast Dictate, the point is that wispr flow uses the really smart ctrl + win hotkey, and I can't seem to set this to open raycast dictate. Is there a way? Or setting like win + alt.

Appreciation post for Glaze

The team actually cooked something, I once wrote such a post for raycast too, and glaze deserves it too
it built my app "Airwave" in oneshot, and in few tweaks, it's perfect, it took me less than an hour to build, I am seriously impressed

Any ETA for Cloud Sync?

Just noticed a new update dropped. All nice and dandy but I think what many of us who have more than one Mac are really waiting for is Cloud Sync? Any suggestions from the Raycast folks when we can stop holding our breath for it?

Um ... I want what I see on the Raycast homepage

Glad to see v2 Beta out. It looks great on the splash pages so I installed it right away...well, I think I did. The UI I have is totally plain Jane and, in fact, I'm a little insecure as to whether I actually got the latest iteration.

  • I want what I see on the new release announcement materials (right photo)
  • But I got something that I can't distinguish from the original build (left photo)

In fairness, I didn't use v1 very long before installing the new Beta so it could be different in ways I don't notice. Still, the app I see in the new Mac V2 manual is not what I see on my screen.

I can't even convince myself I've got the v2 Beta because, oddly, the Desktop app nowhere identifies itself as such. The app itself is installed as Raycast Beta.app (no version indicated) and the build/version # is v0.66.1.0 (Beta). I think I confirmed that matches what's currently available via the download link on the v2 Beta announcement page, so I'm assuming it's the latest version available right now, but...

  • Why doesn't my install look sleek and cool like the UI on the release materials? And
  • Developers should really include a numeral 2 somewhere on the install (the App name or the version #) so one can tell they've got the recent release.

Feature request: BYOK support for Dictation

Hi everyone,

I really like Raycast Dictation. It is fast, convenient, and it fits perfectly into the way I use Raycast.

That said, I would love to have a BYOK option for dictation, so we could use our own transcription API.

The main reason is language support. I dictate a lot in Portuguese, and ElevenLabs Scribe v2 has been extremely accurate for me. The difference is huge. The error rate is much lower, and in practice it makes dictation much more useful.

I don’t think this is just about Portuguese either. A lot of people probably have a specific language, accent, or workflow where one transcription model works much better than another.

So it would be great if Raycast Dictation allowed users to bring their own API key and choose a transcription provider/model, especially for people who already rely on tools like ElevenLabs for better accuracy.

For me, this would make Raycast Dictation much more powerful.

Raycast & Golden Gate's Liquid Glass?

I sympathise with the Raycast team: they release Raycast 2 just as Golden Gate is announced, and they went to great pains to achieve a Liquid Glass refresh, only to find that Liquid Glass has been changed! Will the Raycast team sharpen the window corners of the search window and use the appropriate sidebar version in the Preferences window? (Might they also follow Notion's noble lead and, with the help of AI coding perhaps, convert their front end to SwiftUI instead of React?) Thanks!

S,

Raycast dictation too rewrite heavy, any way to adjust it?

I've used Whisprflow for the last few months, and I'm trying to switch to Raycast dictation because I really like the Raycast ecosystem. However, I found that Raycast rewrites my words much more heavily than Whisperflow, and that's the one thing that puts me off a little bit at the moment. It doesn't just trim filler words and sometimes brings it into a better structure, but it genuinely rewrites facts sometimes.

Is anyone experiencing the same? I didn't find a setting to turn it off or adjust that. Whisprflow nailed this rewriting a better from what I've seen so far but I'd like to avoid the extra cost.

What are your favorite custom AI commands?

I created one that accesses my browser window where I'll highlight a page's URL and it'll generate an MLA citation for a bibliography. I’m curious to know commands you guys have made that you find very useful!

[MacOS] I made a script that reads my latest clipboard entry and types the contents in one character at a time.

This Bash script will read my clipboard and type in the contents one character at a time.

This is better than browser extensions because it works in any app.

How to safely downgrade from Beta to regular Raycast?

I installed beta, imported all settings, but I find it buggy (even basic calculations in calculator gave wrong results) and inferior.

I wanted to downgrade to regular raycast, so I just closed Beta and opened old app. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that just don't work (eg. I don't have tag fields for snippets, and they are not firing, and keyboard shortcuts are not firing as well).

How to successfully migrate/downgrade back? I miss the ideal, working Raycast!

Raycast and Siri AI: can they work together?

Hi there!

Given that many of us prefer Raycast to Spotlight, but given also that the new Siri AI will be much more deeply embedded in macOS Golden Gate and iCloud, is there any way that we can send AI queries within Raycast straight to Spotlight? And/or have the option to choose?

Thanks!
