Wispr Flow, an AI-based dictation startup, launched its Android app today. The company launched the app for Mac and Windows first, followed by iOS in June 2025.
On iOS, users can use Wispr Flow via a dedicated keyboard. On Android the interface is slightly different. You can access the dictionary via a floating bubble. You can hold the speech bubble to dictate or tap once to start and then press the Close button to stop the process. Like other platforms, in addition to dictation, the app organizes filter words and formats text based on the context of the app and spoken content.
“Android has finally given us the freedom to build the voice experiences we’ve always wanted. Only when the platform gets out of the way can we truly expect voice to replace typing on mobile,” said Tanay Kothari, co-founder and CEO of the startup.
The app can support translation in over 100 languages and can work with other apps as well. With the launch of its Android app, Wispr Flow said it has completed an infrastructure rewrite that makes dictation 30% faster than before.
There are plenty of AI-powered dictation apps available on desktop and iOS, but Wispr Flow is one of the few apps available on Android with this launch, besides Typeless, which released an app for the platform last month.
The company has also launched a new model for Hinglish, a mix of Hindi and English for people in India who speak in a mixed code manner.

“If you’re anything like me, English and Hindi are woven together when you communicate with family and colleagues back home. This is one of those times where I had to create something for myself – the first speech model that actually supports transcription of Indian languages instead of the traditional Hindi script,” Kothari said.
The company said that despite the early launch for some users, users have used more than 1.3 million words in English in the past few days.
Wispr Flow has been one of the hottest startups in the AI-based dictation app category, attracting significant venture capital interest. Last June, the startup raised $30 million in funding led by Menlo Ventures. Within a few months, in November, the company secured $25 million in a round led by Notable Capital. Wispr Flow has raised a total of $81 million, valuing the last round at $700 million, according to sources.
