Voice In vs Wispr Flow

Voice In

• People who do most of their writing in web apps inside Chrome or Edge
• Dictating into web-based email, help desk and CRM tools
• Users who want voice shortcuts for text they type repeatedly

Wispr Flow

• People who write a lot of email, chat and documents and prefer to speak
• Developers dictating into a terminal, code editor or AI tool
• Students and educators, who get 50% off Pro with an education email

Voice In

• It works only inside Chrome and Edge: not in desktop apps such as Word, and not in Firefox, Brave or Vivaldi.
• The free version is capped at 60 minutes a day and stops listening after 20 seconds of silence; Advanced Mode and custom voice commands need Plus.
• It needs an internet connection and does not work offline.
• Dictanote says it has never offered a HIPAA business associate agreement, because speech recognition is done by the browser.

Wispr Flow

• Free dictation is capped at 2,000 words a week on desktop and 1,000 a week on mobile.
• The Notetaker runs on Mac and Windows only; the vendor says mobile is on the roadmap.
• SAML SSO and org-wide HIPAA enforcement need Growth, and SCIM and audit logs need Enterprise.
• Growth is listed at a discounted price next to a crossed-out $26 a month (annual); no end date is given.

Voice In

Dictation in web text boxes

Place the cursor in a text box, right-click and choose Start Recording, and speech is typed in real time. The site lists Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook on the web, WhatsApp and ChatGPT among supported sites.

Advanced Mode

A Plus feature that inserts text with a different strategy, so dictation works on sites with complex editors such as Notion, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk and HubSpot.

Custom voice commands

With Plus, a spoken phrase can insert saved text such as a signature, or run an action such as pressing Tab, switching the dictation language or opening a URL.

AI Transforms

Select dictated text and apply the built-in Polish style or one custom prompt of your own. Only the selected text is sent to an AI model, and Dictanote says it is not stored.

Dictation Box and multi-tab dictation

Plus adds a small box on the page to dictate into before copying text across, and keeps dictation running when you switch tabs. In the free version it stops on a tab change.

Transcription by the browser

Voice In uses the speech-to-text API built into Chrome or Edge. Dictanote states that no audio or transcript is sent to its own servers.

Wispr Flow

Dictation in any app

Speech-to-text works wherever you can type, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, a terminal or a code editor, in 100+ languages with automatic language detection.

Automatic cleanup

Removes filler words, repetitions and mid-sentence corrections, then adds punctuation and formatting so the output reads like written text.

Personal dictionary

Learns unusual words and names automatically, and you can add your own. Paid plans add a dictionary shared across the team.

Snippets

Store text you type all the time, such as email replies, links, addresses and bios, and reuse it instead of dictating or typing it again.

Notetaker for meetings

On Mac and Windows, the Notetaker captures meetings and voice memos, identifies speakers and answers questions across meetings. Notes can be used in Claude and ChatGPT through MCP.

Security and admin controls

Wispr states SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and ISO 27001 certification. Growth adds SAML SSO and usage reporting; SCIM and audit logs are on Enterprise.
