I tried the free Wispr Flow voice dictation tool everyone's talking about - and I'm hooked

A couple of years ago, I fell and fractured my left wrist. The injury meant that I couldn't write, at least not by typing with two hands. As a workaround, I tried dictating text using the voice dictation tools built into Windows. But I was never truly happy with their usability or accuracy. I wish I'd known about Wispr Flow at the time.

Available in free and paid plans, Wispr Flow from Wispr is a reliable and flexible AI-powered speech-to-text tool that lets you dictate emails, text messages, notes, lists, documents, and more. You can also use it to record and transcribe conversations, speeches, presentations, meetings, and similar activities. Plus, if you're into vibe coding, which lets you develop software using natural language, Wispr Flow will understand your instructions.

Also: You can earn your Google Al Professional Certificate for free - and I recommend it

The program is available...
