About Wispr

Wispr Flow is making it as effortless to interact with your devices as talking to a close friend. Voice is the most natural, powerful way to communicate \u2014 and we're building the interfaces to make that a reality.

Today, Wispr Flow is the first voice dictation platform people use more than their keyboards \u2014 because it understands you perfectly on the first try. It's context-aware, personalized, and works anywhere you can type, on desktop or phone.

Dictation is just our first act. We're building the interaction layer for your computer \u2014 a system that's capable, understands you, and earns your trust. It will start by writing for you, then move to taking actions, and ultimately anticipate your needs before you ask.

We're a team of AI researchers, designers, growth experts, and engineers rethinking human-computer interaction from the ground up. We value high-agency teammates who communicate openly, obsess over users, and sweat the details. We thrive on spirited debate, truth-seeking, and real-world impact.

This year, we've grown our revenue 50% month-over-month and with our latest $30M Series A, this is just the beginning.
