our experience
We started using Wispr Flow while looking for a faster way to write prompts, and it completely changed the workflow. Speaking removes the gap between forming a thought and getting it onto the screen, while Flow handles the punctuation, filler words, and cleanup. Even whispered late-night dictation works surprisingly well, which means we actually use it throughout the day instead of only when conditions are perfect.
I type fast. Turns out, that was never actually the bottleneck.
