Wispr Flow - Voice dictation that works
Your keyboard called; it’s taking a long weekend ⌨️✈️
We’ve been banging away on keyboards for 150 years.
Until now, voice dictation hasn’t been reliable enough to change that.
Wispr Flow finally delivers the no-edit confidence we’ve all been waiting for:
4× quicker than typing. Dictate emails, docs, and DMs in real time and save precious hours every week.
AI auto-edits on the fly. Flow cleans filler words, fixes grammar, and formats perfectly as you speak.
Works inside every app with no setup. Fly through Slack notifications, give more context to ChatGPT, or brain dump into Notion.
Use it at your desk or on the go. Available on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
We use Wispr Flow at TAAFT and love it! It’s super fast, saves us tons of time, and is always one tap away. Plus, it gets smarter the more you use it. 👍👍 from us!

Mind-Blowing AI
If the rumors are true, “Nano-Banana” might actually be the Google’s secret preview of Imagen 5, and it’s blowing people away.
The model popped up in LMArena’s battle mode, and early testers say it crushes tough edits in one go, swapping objects, changing characters, and preserving faces with uncanny consistency. Unlike other tools, it keeps scenes intact and identities recognizable across edits, even in multi-image workflows. It’s lightning-fast too, spitting out photorealistic results fast. 🖼️🍌
