Open a shared Wispr Flow note

Available on: Web browsers on desktop and mobile. The Wispr Flow desktop app is available on Mac and Windows.

Open a shared meeting link to read its summary. You may need to sign in or switch accounts, and available transcripts open in the desktop app.

Open the link and check your access

Cloud Sync isn't required to read a shared note. The owner's sharing settings and organization policy govern access, even across organizations; your own organization's sharing restriction alone doesn't determine whether you can read someone else's note.

How the note was shared	Account required
Anyone with the link	No sign-in, only when the owner's organization permits public links.
Invitation to your email address	Sign in with the invited email.
Domain sharing	Sign in as a member of the owner's Wispr organization, not merely with a matching email domain.

An internal-only organization policy blocks outside recipients even if invited. An owner-only policy blocks all recipients.

Open the link from the sender.
Sign in if prompted, using the account required above. Signing in, including after Switch account, returns you to the same note.

Note: The sign-in and access-denied screens can't be dismissed with X, Escape, or an outside click. Use the browser's Back button to leave. If the note's owner belongs to an enterprise organization, opening a note or its transcript is recorded in that organization's audit log, along with how you were given access; readers who aren't signed in are recorded as “Anonymous”.

Sign-in help

Sign in with Google, Microsoft, Apple, SSO, or email and password. Accounts created with a provider require that provider, and organizations requiring SSO redirect you to SSO. Email aliases containing + aren't supported. If your saved sign-in can no longer be restored, sign in again to reach restricted notes.

If you need a new account, Sign up with email requires your full name, a password of at least 6 characters, and a captcha; complete Check your email, using Resend verification email if needed. Forgot password? on the email/password form opens the password reset page in a new tab.

What you can read

The web viewer shows only the summary; its Transcript tab is always disabled. Only owners and explicitly invited recipients can view an existing transcript in the desktop app, and only when the owner's organization permits transcript sharing. Invited recipients blocked by that policy see “Transcripts aren’t shared for notes from this organization”. If you opened the note through a link or domain sharing, ask the owner to invite your email address to request a transcript.

“No summary available.” means the note has no summary; the owner's private notes aren't substituted. The owner's My thoughts and action items stay private, summaries use neutral names instead of private contact labels, and transcripts omit private @-mention speaker labels and contact links. Recipient details are shared only with the owner and explicitly invited recipients, and signed-out readers don't receive the owner's email address.

Shared notes are read-only. Questions you ask respect the note's permissions: they don't grant transcript access or let you edit the note. Answers come from your perspective as the signed-in reader, not the owner's — ask “What do I need to follow up on?” and the answer is about you, across follow-up questions in the same chat.

Open the note in the app

Note: Mobile browsers, including iPad, hide app-opening and download options. Use a Mac or Windows computer for transcripts.

Choose Open in Wispr Flow — in the note header when you're signed in, or in the prompt that appears on arrival when you're signed out. If Flow is already installed, start at step 4. Downloads open in a new tab, leaving the note open.

Download Wispr Flow if it isn't installed.
Install Flow.
Return to the shared link.
Choose Open in Wispr Flow in the note header or prompt.

Links that open the app for you

Buttons in Wispr Flow emails use a note link that hands the note straight to the desktop app. Open one in a desktop browser other than Firefox and Flow is offered immediately — before you sign in on the web, and even if you never chose “Always open in Wispr Flow”. Your browser still asks “Open Wispr Flow?”; confirm it to continue in the app.

Each note hands off this way only once, and the address bar then shows the plain note link. If the app sends a note back to the browser, that link stays on the web. Share invitations and other note links are unaffected — use Open in Wispr Flow for those.

If nothing opens

After an attempt, the note stops offering the app for 30 seconds in any tab; the note stays readable, the Download button stays reachable on desktop, and the offer returns on its own.

Make sure Flow is installed and open on your computer.
Wait 30 seconds after the previous attempt.
Reload the shared link.
Choose Open in Wispr Flow again.

If Notetaker isn't available on your account, the app returns you to the web viewer so the note stays open in the browser, and the Transcript tab and question window say Wispr Notetaker isn't available yet and to ask the owner for the transcript or anything else you need. Organization transcript restrictions still show their own message.

If the link will not open

For signed-in readers, “You don't have access to this note” offers only Switch account; there's no Request access button.

Check the displayed email, if present.
Choose Switch account in the prompt or account menu; this signs you out first.
Sign in with the invited account, or your organization account for domain sharing.

The note's summary loads when the account is correct. If access is still denied, ask the owner to share the note with you.

Unavailable note: Unknown links and denied access can produce the same result — ask the sender to re-share the link or grant access.
Incomplete link: For “Note link missing” or a full-page 404, ask the sender for the complete link.
Loading error: For “Unable to load note”, choose Retry. It reloads the note, not the app; a loaded summary confirms success.
Changed access: Ask the owner to check your invitation, sharing settings, and organization policy. Removing an invitation locks the transcript again.

Text a sender adds to a link doesn't grant access, and link options can't override a genuine access block or redirect the app-opening and download buttons.
