Start Dictating FreeThe Typing Bottleneck
The average person types 40 words per minute. Professional writers hit 80-100 WPM. But we speak at 150-200 WPM naturally. That gap — 2-5x faster speech versus typing — is the biggest untapped productivity multiplier for knowledge workers.
We tested Wisprflow with 5 writers for 60 days. Result: 180 WPM average, 98.7% accuracy, and zero wrist pain. One team member dictated a 45,000-word book in 3 weeks versus 8 weeks typing. Another cut email time from 2.5 hours daily to 45 minutes. Start dictating free.

Punctuation insertion without pausing flow
"Delete that"
Removes last spoken phrase
"Bold / Italic / Heading"
Formatting commands for rich text output
"Open bracket / Close bracket"
Special characters for code and URLs
