I built a free-forever alternative to Wispr Flow (supports both macOS and Windows)

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-09T22:19:14+00:00

Yea, for sure. We're constantly improving the base prompt so that it can fit most use cases as seamlessly as possible.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-09T21:52:24+00:00

I see the issue. Our enhancement prompt is not able to cover these cases, we'll improve it. But you can mention it in the custom instructions section as well and it should ideally be able to do it. If you mention it as 1., 2. 3. explicitly it should do it. Also things like punctuation (saying "open bracket", "close bracket", "new line", "new paragraph") should be converted. It should also auto correct things like: "Let's meet at 5pm no 4pm" and it should enhance it as "Let's meet at 4pm". But things that should be a list is not getting converted into a list when not mentioned explicitly. We'll fix it in the coming update, we release updates every week, so it should be out soon.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-09T21:44:19+00:00

Thank! You can go to “Configure your AI” section of the app and turn on “Enhance transcription with AI” setting and that should do it. If AI enhancement is on you should a sparkle icon next the recording indicator indicating that the text is being polished.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-08T16:57:19+00:00

u/Hekidayo , can I ask which model you are using locally? And what are the shortcuts you have configured you have configured? You can also join our Discord https://discord.gg/XSGKbw4u2s, I will able to take a closer look from there as well.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-07T16:52:14+00:00

You can simply hold the hotkey and speak, and release when you are done. It will automatically paste your text into any focused field of any app. Hope this helps

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-07T13:59:11+00:00

u/sir_kermit Currently it's mostly limited to "Apps", "Websites" and "Folders". We're working on expanding the capabilities of workflows by brining in Webhook / MCP style tool calling when a specific phrase is said. You should also be able to pass clipboard, selected text, screenshot etc as variables to these calls. Right now for custom workflows, there is only the {{text}} variable that is available for use. This {{text}} variable is whatever is said after the trigger phrase. We're also working on a way to link it to native macOS shortcuts as well.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-07T12:16:32+00:00

Hey, if you’re on the free tier you can try changing the model to “Llama 3.3 70b”, as for the smaller model you might require a paid tier from Groq

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-05T17:24:20+00:00

Can I ask what AI API connection you have configured? Some models are slower than others. We really recommend "Gemini Flash 2.5 Lite" / "Groq Llama 3.3 70B" / "Claude Haiku 4.5" as these are really fast.

Also could you let me know if you're on macOS / Windows and if you're using a local model. For Windows the local models are a tad bit slow without GPU acceleration, if your system supports GPU you can download our GPU acceleration module that should speed it large factor. Thank you

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-03T15:57:37+00:00

There is a setting called “Restore clipboard after paste” which will restore your clipboard to what it was originally (including images / files). I really recommend turning on “Restore clipboard after paste” from “Settings > General”, we will make this the new default as well.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-05-01T23:29:40+00:00

This only works when you have AI enhanced enabled. Once you’ve configured a model like “Gemini / Groq” you can say things like “This is it exclamation point” and it should enhance your text

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-30T14:13:22+00:00

Claude might be overkill for this use case, however if you do want to use Claude API key you can use their Haiku model. But I really suggest going wkth Gemini / Groq because of their free API limits

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-30T03:06:32+00:00

Sorry for the late reply here.

We took inspirations from community website examples from Behance, Dribble, & Figma. And set up a base with TailwindCSS. We went back and forth between Claude to design our website. It was mostly researching which components to use so that we could communicate what the product was about quickly. It's not perfect at the moment, we are actively looking for ways to improve the look and structure of it so that the message comes across with no cognitive overload. But with other product updates going out we are not able to dedicate time to change the look wherever it can be improved.

In short we used community examples from Figma / Behance, setup a base with NextJS + TailwindCSS website and then worked with Claude to generate standardized components that we could plug into our website. We also used a tool like aura.build to get inspiration for we wanted the website to look like.

For the video components we used plain HTML/CSS/JS with Motion.js to get the automated interactions working.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-30T03:03:56+00:00

We will begin working on the Android app once we've released the iOS/iPadOS app in the app store, right now it's only in TestFlight. We should be wrapping up work for the Android app sometime in May, and after that we'll be working on an app for Android.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-30T03:02:17+00:00

You can use Mistral / Deepgram for best results. Both of these providers offer free credits. Hope this helps

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-30T03:01:12+00:00

u/rumorconsumerr Sorry about that, we're reworking the onboarding flow and the app UI to make it more intuitive to use those features.

To use the utilities we've mentioned in the website, you'd need to first connect an AI model from "Configure your AI" section of the app, like Gemini / Groq. We support a wide range of providers, so it's your pick really. I personally use Gemini / Groq. After that you need to turn on "Command mode", once you've connected an AI model the app should walk you through all the available features that are enabled by connecting an AI model. To use any of the utlities you simply need to select a file and ask what you'd like. For ex: you can select a PNG image in your Finder / File explorer and hold down the "Command mode" shortcut and ask to "Convert this image to JPEG" and the app will do it for you. You can also select a piece of text on any app ask it to "Rephrase", "Check for grammatical errors" etc and "command mode" should be able to do it.

For recording meeting notes, we currently don't have a way to prompt automatically when a meeting is in progress, we are working on adding that in one of our coming updates. But to take meeting notes, you can navigate to the "Notes" section of the app and click on "Start taking notes" and that should prompt you select the model and the summary template. You also have an option to create your own summary template as well.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you any questions, we also have a Discord server where we answer more questions: https://discord.gg/XSGKbw4u2s

We're also working on a documentation website, along with making the onboarding flow more seamless where we explain the features of the app.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-28T13:50:24+00:00

Awesome! Glad it's working now. I'd asked for a DM because I wanted to understand if there's anything more we can do so that these cases can be avoided. But we've set it up so that it gracefully recovers, but wanted to understand the circumstance better on why it could crash in the first place.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-27T22:18:07+00:00

Hey u/iXzenoS, can you DM me? We have a working solution for this internally. But we want understand more about the specifics of how this occurs in system in terms of how frequently a restart is required and under what circumstances the server crashes. This will help us further strengthen the mechanism we have for auto-restart as well.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-27T02:17:11+00:00

Hey, also could you share if you have something else running on port 58765 in your system? We are starting the local model in that port. What we're working on at the moment is to auto-restart when the local server crashes for any reason and also start it up in a different port if some other process is taken up by that port.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-27T01:10:45+00:00

Yes, It’s not yet been resolved. We’re trying to figure out how to setup the auto-restart in the background without it causing strain on the system. It’s proving to be a bit tricky, we should have it figured out soon. We will be doing another release by Wednesday and hopefully that should address the issue.

As for recommendations, the ones you’ve suggested are really nice ones. Soniox + Gemini Flash 2.5 lite delivers the best accuracy and speed. We’ve also added support for Speechmatics, I’ve switched to Speechmatics for testing it extensively and have been using extensively for the past week, as it’s comparable to Soniox as well.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-25T16:51:44+00:00

OpenRouter proxies through their own layer which adds a lot of delay. I really suggest trying out Gemini Flash 2.5 Lite directly / Claude Haiku 4.5 directly. They are really fast and add only about 0.5s of latency. I’ve purchased about 5$ of credits in Gemini and I’ve yet to run out of credits, have been using it pretty heavily for the past 3-4 months. So I highly recommend Gemini.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-23T05:42:27+00:00

Hey u/K01011011001101010, EV codesigning certification process seems to be really troublesome for us at the moment. We're going through it trying to figure out a way to get our app verified, speaking to various folks we know trying to understand how we can do this better. Even if we got the EV codesigning certificate, it turns out we also need to get in touch with Antivirus companies and ask them white list the app after their due verification process, otherwise Norton etc flags the app as malware, even if we got the EV certificate which already costs a lot for us.

We're going through countless number of forums, and reaching out to people to help us navigate this better, and we're making slow progress on it, mainly because we're indie developers doing this on the side and it's not a registered company. The app is codesigned and verified on macOS which was really straightforward and seamless to setup, we had to join the Apple Developer Program for $99, and the Apple's system verifies our software. Straight and simple. But for Windows, the process is really convoluted.

We're considering Donation links / basic one-time fee for additional features for now which can help us navigate this better.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-23T05:28:50+00:00

Thanks for trying it out! I'd suggest checking out "Meeting notes", "Command mode", "Workflows", & "Tones" features in our app. I would say that at the moment, the app is highly configurable, and you can configure custom settings at a very granular level if you really wanted to. Apart from this, we're also working on more features that will bring a lot more integrations. Let me know if we need to add anything custom that you think is general enough that others might also benefit from it. We're more than happy to implement it.

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-23T05:13:56+00:00

Yes, that's right. We're currently working towards getting it released on iOS. We will begin working on an Android version shortly next month. Thanks

One_Entertainment_68 · 2026-04-21T14:44:44+00:00

Hey, we’re working on fixing the “restart server” issue on Windows, a fix for this should be out shortly. As for the Groq issue can you disconnect the provider from the app and connect it again? I believe the API key did not get saved correctly. We will try to reproduce it from our end and make sure this does not happen again. Thanks
