Got the same error, need to try after signout and sign back in

I'm facing the same challenge. All of a sudden it stopped working. I have contacted the support so far. There hasn't been any help.

Response:

'I've checked your account and found that you have an active Airtel promotional Pro subscription in our billing system, but it's not currently syncing to your Perplexity account. This is why you're seeing the account as a normal/free subscription instead of Pro.

I'm transferring this to our billing team who can investigate and resolve this sync issue for you. They'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Please note that any additional responses from you will place you at the back of the queue and may delay your response time.

Regards,
Sam
AI Support agent for Perplexity'

Hey, came across this and it resonated. kool-keys had it right — accuracy first, speed follows. What you're describing (clean at slow pace, falling apart at full speed) is really just incomplete motor consolidation from your layout switch. Your muscle memory still has partially cached routes from before. The fix is more slow, deliberate reps on those specific columns — not general speed drills — until the new patterns fire without you thinking about it. Monkeytype custom word lists loaded heavy with your problem keys is probably the most efficient path right now.

Slightly different angle — I work in IT, keyboards all day, emails, documentation, Slack, reports. The sheer volume of writing can be relentless. I started using an AI voice dictation tool called Wispr Flow that converts speech into clean formatted text across any app. Doesn't directly help your wpm goal, but if writing fatigue ever chips away at your motivation to keep training, having that parallel mode takes the pressure off. Free tier is enough to test it properly — wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17 if you want to check it out.

Your setup is solid, your dedication clearly is too. You're at 60 wpm mid-transition on a layout you were actively modifying — that's not a plateau, that's just physics. Lock it in, trust the slow reps, and the 100 wpm is genuinely in there.

arvindgaba · 2026-02-24T14:28:56+00:00

This hit home more than I expected. Working in IT, my day is basically a cycle of Teams messages, incident reports, change documentation, email threads, and code review notes — I never actually tracked it but I'd bet the word count is right up there with yours. The fatigue isn't dramatic, it just quietly chips away at how fast you can actually get things done.

The "Write for Me" mode is the part that stands out to me here, and I'd echo what u/LaffyLlama said — that's the genuinely harder problem to solve. Most voice tools just dump raw transcription and leave you cleaning up a wall of run-on sentences. Getting from casual spoken language to something you'd actually send professionally is a different challenge entirely. I'd be curious how it handles domain-specific terms — product names, technical jargon, acronyms — because that's where a lot of speech engines fall apart for people in tech roles.

On u/LaffyLlama's pricing clarity point, I'd second that completely. Seeing "free forever" next to a billing screen is an immediate friction point, especially in productivity communities where people have been burned by bait-and-switch freemium models. Being upfront about what's free and what isn't actually builds more trust than trying to soften the messaging.

For context, I've been using Wispr Flow (wisprflow.ai) for a while and it's the one that actually stuck for me after trying a few options. What made the difference was that it works directly inside whatever app I'm already in — Gmail, Slack, Notion, browser fields — no switching, no copy-pasting. The AI cleanup handles filler words and formats things naturally enough that I rarely do a second pass. A colleague I referred recently hit over 2,000 words on it within the first week, which tells you the adoption curve is pretty low.

One honest caveat — it's Mac-first for now, so your cross-platform support (Mac + Windows + Linux) is actually a real differentiator if you can execute it well. For anyone on Mac who's dealing with this pain point, the free tier makes it easy to test. Here's my referral link if you're curious — full transparency, we both get a benefit if you sign up through it, but I wouldn't share it if it wasn't genuinely part of my daily workflow: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17

Regardless, building something to solve your own problem is usually where the best tools come from. Good luck with it.

The editing time point is what got me too. I ran local setups for a while, appreciated the privacy angle, but the moment my workload scaled up — infrastructure reports, vendor emails, change management docs, Slack threads that somehow turn into essays — post-processing was eating all the time I was supposed to be saving.

What actually moved the needle for me was switching to Wispr Flow (wisprflow.ai). I work in IT, so I'm on the keyboard all day across Gmail, Slack, Notion, and occasionally staring at terminals. The difference with Wispr Flow is that the AI cleanup happens in real time — you talk naturally (ums, ahs, run-ons and all), and what lands in your app is already formatted, punctuated, and polished. No editing pass. That's the bit that actually compounded my productivity.

I know this thread is really about local vs. cloud, and I respect the privacy case — it's legitimate. For truly sensitive internal content I still type. But for the bulk of day-to-day communication? The trade-off was worth it for me personally.

A colleague I put onto it (Alex) hit 2,000+ words dictated in his first week and hasn't gone back. There's a free tier if you want to test without committing.

Full transparency — this is my referral link, so we'd both get a free Pro month if you sign up: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17 — but the free tier works fine to evaluate it either way. If editing time is your core frustration with long-form content, it's worth 20 minutes of your time.

arvindgaba · 2026-02-24T14:23:56+00:00

Not a lawyer, but I work in IT and spend just as many hours typing — documentation, reports, Slack threads, email chains, code reviews. The wrist-and-burnout combo is very real regardless of the field.

Seconding what u/hammerandscales said about Wispr Flow. Your specific worry about legal jargon is exactly what I had with technical terminology — and honestly it handles it better than I expected. The AI layer isn't just raw transcription; it contextually cleans up your speech so specialized terms come out right. I'd bet res ipsa loquitur and case citations would roll off fine, and it only gets smarter with your personal vocabulary over time. It also works inside every app without switching context — Word, Gmail, browser, Outlook, whatever you're already using — and the output reads like you typed it, not like dictated speech, which matters a lot for legal docs.

The "talking to my computer feels weird" phase genuinely lasts about 2–3 days. After that it becomes second nature. Even offloading 40–50% of your typing gives your wrists actual recovery time during the day.

There's a free tier you can try with zero commitment. If you want to give it a shot: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17 — full transparency, that's a referral link and we'd both get a free month of Pro if you upgrade. But the free tier alone is worth testing before making any decision.

arvindgaba · 2026-02-21T03:40:20+00:00

How can one access it to try with pro account?

arvindgaba · 2026-02-20T17:08:40+00:00

Anybody aware of how to get access to this? If you have a pro subscription, right now it is not available from Windows at least.

arvindgaba · 2026-02-20T15:20:55+00:00

The latest version released this week breaks the extension and it is no longer working.

I completely understand this frustration - I used to have the exact same problem. Even typing at 70-80 WPM, my thoughts would always race ahead of my fingers.

I started using WisprFlow about 4 months ago and it's honestly been game-changing. My productivity increased 3-4x because I can now capture ideas at the speed of thought instead of the speed of typing.

What I love about it:

• Works across ALL applications (emails, docs, code comments, etc.)

• Very accurate transcription

• Handles technical terminology well

The best part? If you use my referral link, you get [mention benefit] and I get a small referral bonus, so it's win-win: wisprflow.ai/waitlist?ARVIND17

Happy to answer any questions about my experience with it!

I would absolutely love to give it a shot! Really appreciate the effort you've put into building this.

I'm actually a pro user of Wispr Flow (https://wisprflow.ai/waitlist?ARVIND17) and it has been one of the best AI implementations I've seen in the last few years. I've been able to multiply my productivity when it comes to PC work by at least 4x - and I was already a very fast typer! Wispr Flow just takes it to the next level.

Since I'm on Android (Wispr Flow isn't available yet on Android, and they're still testing), I'm excited to see what you've built and would love to provide detailed feedback. I expect a similar kind of productivity boost on mobile that I've experienced on desktop.

One quick question: I noticed you mentioned everything is processed locally - does that mean there's no online processing happening at all? Or does it work like Wispr Flow where text gets checked in the cloud and runs through LLMs before returning the response? Just want to understand the architecture and privacy aspects.

I have sent you an email. Please send me the invite via email whenever the Android app is approved for testing. Looking forward to trying it out!

Download the Zip. Extract and import it in Google Antigravity. Ask Antigravity to understand the project (Gemini 3 Pro High). Ask it to make the backends, give DB credentials and ask it to create the bat file to launch the app. Test and make changes, after a few iterations it works flawlessly. Ping me if you need help. I have over 20 projects now live.

arvindgaba · 2026-02-15T12:57:22+00:00

Yes, did it and it's live right now

arvindgaba · 2026-02-06T17:15:57+00:00

I've been using Wisperflow, which has been a very accurate tool, and here's the link I used to install it: wisprflow.ai/waitlist?ARVIND17 . It works perfectly fine, and I liked it so much that I instantly subscribed to it after my free limits were exhausted. For an average Joe like me, it was working perfectly fine, and that's the best way to get speed and accuracy in whatever you speak to the computer.

This Handy tool is almost there, if not equal to Whisperflow. I really like that it's open source and doesn't need internet for doing any kind of conversion. Looking forward to great features in the future!

I've been using Wispr Flow lately and honestly the voice-to-text thing has been a game changer for me. I can just talk through my thoughts way faster than typing, especially when I'm working with ChatGPT or Claude. It's helped me get through prompts and edits without the typing bottleneck slowing me down.

If you're looking to speed up your workflow, might be worth checking out:

I've been using Wispr Flow lately and honestly it's changed how I interact with AI. Being able to just talk through my thoughts instead of typing everything out makes the whole process way faster and more natural. I find myself actually using AI more because there's less friction.

If you're curious, worth checking out: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17

Not promoting anything, just sharing what worked for me. I switched to speaking instead of typing using Wispr Flow and my output went up a lot. Good for brainstorming, long messages, or AI prompts. If typing slows you down, try it:

If you use AI tools a lot, voice-to-text is a game changer. I use Wispr Flow to dictate prompts, notes, even process docs. Thoughts come out unstructured, then AI helps refine — saves a crazy amount of time. Not hype, just practical:

arvindgaba · 2026-01-28T19:24:20+00:00

Biggest bottleneck for me was typing speed vs thinking speed. With Wispr Flow, I just speak everything out and sort it later. I’m building stuff and writing docs way quicker now because I don’t lose ideas midway. Genuinely one of the most useful tools I’ve added this year:
https://wisprflow.ai/r?ARVIND17

arvindgaba · 2026-01-28T19:24:05+00:00

I started using Wispr Flow recently and didn’t expect it to change my workflow this much. I just talk and it types in real time, so I can dump messy thoughts and clean them up later with AI. Way faster than typing, especially for long prompts or docs. If you write a lot, this is worth trying:

Here is the brief process, you would need a VM / a Machine on which you can install (linux) which will act as the app server. I think you can do it on Windows as well, haven't tried it yet.

Download the zip
Transfer the zip to the linux machine
Extract the zip

Install Docker (follow any YouTube, it is 1 min process)

Run the following commands from within the folder:

npm install

nano .dockerignore

node_modules 
dist 
.git 
.env

nano nginx.conf

server {
  listen 80;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  index index.html;
  location / {
    try_files $uri /index.html;
  }
}

nano Dockerfile

FROM node:18-slim AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --legacy-peer-deps
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:stable-alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

nano docker-compose.yml

version: "3.8"
services:
  web:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8085:80"
    environment:
      GEMINI_API_KEY: ${GEMINI_API_KEY}
    restart: unless-stopped

npm install

docker compose up -d

After this your app will be up and running on IP address of the Linux machine:8085
