Wispr Flow launches an Android app for AI-powered dictation

AI-powered dictation startup Wispr Flow is rolling out its Android app today, expanding beyond the platforms it launched on earlier. The company debuted Wispr Flow on Mac and Windows first, and then brought it to iOS in June 2025.

On iOS, Wispr Flow works through a dedicated keyboard, letting users dictate directly wherever they type. The Android version takes a different route. Instead of relying on a keyboard-first experience, the app can be accessed via a floating bubble that sits atop other apps. Users can press and hold the bubble to dictate, tap once to begin speaking, then tap the close button to stop. As on Wispr Flow’s other platforms, the Android app doesn’t just convert speech to text — it also cleans up filler words and restructures what you said into more readable writing, formatting the output based on both the app you’re using and the content you spoke.

“Android finally gave us the freedom to build the voice experience we always wanted. Only when the platform gets out of the way can we truly expect voice to replace typing on mobile,” Tanay Kothari, the startup’s co-founder and CEO, said.

Wispr Flow said the Android app supports translation in more than 100 languages and is designed to work across other apps, rather than keeping dictation locked inside a single environment. Alongside the Android launch, the company also announced an infrastructure rewrite that it says makes dictation 30% faster than before.

The launch is notable because, while there are plenty of AI-powered dictation tools available on desktop and iOS, Android has fewer comparable options. With this release, Wispr Flow becomes one of the few AI dictation apps available on Android, joining Typeless, which launched an Android app last month.

In addition, Wispr Flow is introducing a new model tailored specifically for Hinglish — the blend of Hindi and English that many people in India naturally switch between in everyday speech. The company is positioning this as a model built for real-world mixed-language conversation, not a workaround that forces everything into standard Hindi script.

“If you’re someone like me, English and Hindi weave together when I’m chatting with family and colleagues back home. This is one of those times when I just had to build something for me: the first voice model to actually support transcription in Hinglish instead of traditional Hindi script,” Kothari said.

Wispr Flow also shared early usage signals from its Android rollout. Even with the app initially reaching only a limited set of users, the company said people have already spoken more than 1.3 million words in English over the past few days.

The startup has been among the more visible names in the fast-growing AI dictation category, drawing meaningful attention from venture investors. In June, Wispr Flow raised $30 million in funding led by Menlo Ventures. A few months later, in November, it secured another $25 million in a round led by Notable Capital. In total, Wispr Flow has raised $81 million, and sources said its most recent round valued the company at $700 million.
