Your Usage tab: Track your dictation stats in Wispr Flow
Last updated: October 16, 2026
Note: Insights is available on Mac and Windows desktop only — not on iOS or Android.
Your usage in Insights tracks your personal dictation activity over time: speed, word totals, corrections, desktop app use and streaks.
Open Your usage
Open the Wispr Flow desktop app.
Click Insights in the left sidebar.
Select Your usage if you switched to another tab — it is the default, always-visible tab.
Read your stats
Tile | What it measures |
Words per minute | Dictation speed in words per minute. |
Fixes made by Flow | Automatic corrections from desktop and mobile combined. |
Total Words Dictated | Lifetime words from desktop and mobile combined. |
Desktop usage | Desktop-only categories and distinct apps, excluding mobile. |
Activity heatmap | Daily activity and current and longest streaks. |
How speed is measured
The first figure you see can include older activity; after you dictate, it reflects recent dictations on this desktop. Speech duration excludes silence when available; otherwise recording duration is used. If a dictation has no qualifying duration, Flow keeps the previous value.
Words per minute includes dictations made under organization policies that prevent saving history, but only for the signed-in account.
The “Compared to global typing speeds” tooltip refers to a published keyboard-typing study, not other Flow users. “Top X%” is absent at 0 WPM or when no valid ranking is available.
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Khmer and Lao dictation is counted, including word counting without spaces; counts can differ by ±1 word across platforms.
What counts as a correction
The headline adds “words corrected” (filler words such as “um” and “like,” plus other corrections) and “dictionary fixes” (dictionary and snippet substitutions). Zero-count rows are hidden; if both are zero, only the 0 headline remains.
Word totals by platform
Hover the proportional Desktop/Mobile bar for exact platform counts when mobile words exist. With no desktop words, only Mobile appears; without mobile words, an exact Desktop count replaces the bar.
How desktop categories are counted
Categories are personal messages, work messages, emails, AI prompts, documents and other tasks. Once your account has stats, all six stay visible, including zeros, and populate as you dictate; a brand-new account with no stats shows no category rows.
Bars measure word share, not time, and rounded percentages may not total 100%. Rows rank by word count, highest first. Counts represent dictations, except emails use half and documents one-fifth, rounded.
Hover a bar for exact words and a word-based level: 🚀 Power usage (10,000+), 👍 Moderate usage (1,000–9,999), or 🤏 Light usage (under 1,000).
Read your activity and streaks
Longest streak is hidden at zero. Outlines and “Current streak” appear only for streaks longer than one day and end at your last activity, not today, so the highlight can remain during a grace period. The day’s first dictation extends the streak if yesterday had words, or starts it at one.
The Sun–Sat grid shades combined desktop and mobile daily words in bands of 0, 1–249, 250–499, 500–749 and 750+. Hover a day for its date in UTC, combined word count, apps used and top app (— when none). No-activity days within available history show 0 words, 0 apps and —. Desktop, mobile and website activity for the same product counts as one app that day.
History starts on your account creation date or 1 March 2025, whichever is later; earlier and future cells are blank with no tooltip. Arrows move four weeks, stopping at the history limit or the present, so the final forward step can be shorter. Widen the Flow window to see more weeks; narrow windows can omit month labels.
Usage with “Never store my data” on
Your dictation stats keep counting while “Never store my data” is on. Flow reports usage figures only — word count, duration, timestamp and the app you dictated in — never transcript text, URLs, on-screen text or feedback content. Feedback you send while it’s on is submitted without any content.
Turning the setting on keeps usage from dictations that hadn’t been counted yet, including one still in progress, so your totals stay intact. Your voice is hidden when your data-storage policy requires deleting local data.
Warning: Resetting your account from the hub clears these local usage records.
When figures update
Flow refreshes your stats in the background at app start, at sign-in and roughly hourly. Loaded totals, corrections, categories and today’s activity also update after each dictation that contains words; streak and app counts update once the calendar has loaded. If no Insights data is loaded yet, wait for the next refresh.
A refresh that returns older figures leaves your current numbers in place without an error, and a failed background calendar refresh keeps the calendar you already have.
Note: Signing out immediately clears locally saved stats and the calendar; the next sign-in reloads them. Being asked to sign in again without signing out does not clear these local figures.
If stats don't load
Reopening Insights or switching tabs doesn’t refresh stats or the calendar. Try again and Retry are the only manual refresh controls.
Click Try again when every tile shows “Something went wrong loading your insights.” This reloads both the stats and the calendar, and the numbers reappear on success.
Click Retry on the heatmap tile when the streaks and other tiles are visible but the calendar grid is missing. This reloads the calendar only.
Still need help?
Contact support if stats or the calendar still won't load after retrying. Include your platform, device, the error you see, and what you tried.
