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

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

In short

Wispr Flow and Typeless both dictate in any app on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, in more than 100 languages, and Pro costs the same if you pay for the year: USD 144. Pick Wispr Flow if you want meeting notes (on Mac and Windows), if you'd rather pay month to month (USD 15, versus USD 30 for Typeless) or if your company asks for SOC 2 Type II. Pick Typeless if you use Linux, if you want to translate as you speak and edit by voice on the free plan, or if you'd rather your dictations never be used to train models. If you also want to dictate offline, there's a short note on Loro at the end.

What they have in common

Both are voice dictation apps: put your cursor where you want to write, use a keyboard shortcut, talk, and the text shows up in whatever app you have open, without filler words, with punctuation, and fixed when you change your mind mid-sentence. Both run on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, dictate in more than 100 languages, adjust the tone to each app, and have a dictionary that learns when you correct a word.

Both turn your voice into text in the cloud, so both need the internet. And on both, a team can pay for everyone together starting with the Pro plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is Typeless free?

It has a free plan with a weekly word limit; Typeless doesn't publish the number on its pricing page. It includes translation, editing by voice and the dictionary. Pro removes the limit and costs USD 30 a month or USD 144 a year.

Does Typeless work on Windows?

Yes, and also on Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android. On Windows you dictate with the right Alt key: press it once to start talking and again to finish.

Which is cheaper, Wispr Flow or Typeless?

If you pay for the year, they cost the same: USD 144. Month to month, Wispr Flow costs half as much: USD 15, versus USD 30.

Does Typeless work offline?

No. Typeless turns your voice into text in the cloud and discards the audio afterward. Wispr Flow doesn't work offline either; Loro does, because it dictates and transcribes on your computer.

Does Typeless take meeting notes?

No. Its plans are for dictating, translating and editing by voice. If you also want bot-free notes of your meetings, Wispr Flow takes them on Mac and Windows, and so does Loro.
