Loro vs Wispr Flow: which one to pick for dictating on your computer

What they have in common

Both are voice dictation apps for your computer. You don't open anything: put the cursor where you want to write, hold a keyboard shortcut, talk and let go. The text appears, without filler words and with punctuation, in Gmail, Word, WhatsApp, ChatGPT or wherever you are.

Wispr Flow now takes meeting notes too (Wispr Notetaker, on Mac and Windows), like Loro: both listen from your computer and neither adds a bot to the call.

Where Loro wins

• Price. Loro Pro is USD 9.99 a month, or USD 80 a year (USD 6.67 a month). Wispr Flow Pro is USD 15 a month, or USD 144 a year (USD 12 a month).
• It works offline. Loro ships its own voice model: without a connection you still dictate and your meetings are still transcribed, right on your computer. Wispr Flow processes your voice in the cloud.
• Unlimited meeting notes on the free plan. On Loro's free plan you take notes of every meeting (you see the last 30 days). Wispr Flow's free plan has a weekly meeting limit.
• Spanish and English. Loro's app, website and help are in both languages. Wispr Flow's website is in English only.
• To-do. What you agree to on a call, or what you tell Loro ("Loro, I need to…"), lands on your list.

Where Wispr Flow wins

• Phone. Wispr Flow has an iPhone keyboard and an Android app. Loro is for Windows and Mac only, for now.
• Languages. Wispr Flow dictates in 100+ languages. Loro dictates in English and Spanish.
• Enterprise. SSO and dashboards for managing large teams. For dictation, it signs a HIPAA BAA on any plan (signing it turns off its meeting notes) and has SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, which don't cover Wispr Notetaker.
• Discounts. Students and educators with an education email get 50% off Pro.

How dictation works in each

In Loro: hold Ctrl + Win (fn on a Mac), talk the way you talk, and let go. Loro removes the "um"s, adds periods, commas and capitals and, when you're online, understands when you correct yourself: "at 5, no, at 6" becomes "at 6". If there's nowhere to type, it copies the text and tells you. If you started by mistake, press Esc before letting go and nothing is typed.

In Wispr Flow: you also hold a shortcut and talk. It fixes grammar, removes filler words and understands when you change your mind mid-sentence.

In both you can select some text and ask for changes by voice, like "make it shorter" or "translate it to Spanish" (in Loro, with Pro: select the text and hold Ctrl + Win).

Privacy

• Loro: your voice is not stored. Online, it's turned into text in the cloud and the recording is deleted as soon as it's text; if you'd rather your voice never left your computer, pick "On your computer" in Settings. Dictation text is kept for 30 days to improve Loro, and you can turn that off or delete it in Settings › Privacy. Local vs cloud dictation: what changes.
• Wispr Flow: your voice is processed in the cloud. On the Free and Pro plans it uses your dictations and meetings to improve its models, unless you turn that setting off (it used to be called Privacy Mode). You can also choose not to keep your dictation history on its servers; meeting notes are stored in its cloud.
