How do I add a new paragraph?

Flow should automatically add paragraphs to your output text. If it doesn’t, you can try:

(Beta) Say “new line” during a dictation: We’re still improving this one, so it’s not yet 100% reliable.

​
How can I use this at the office?

Good question! There’s a reason we’re called Wispr Flow 😉

Next time you’re in the open office, try whispering instead. If there’s background noise, lean in a little. You could always get our co-founder’s favorite microphone, too.

If you’re working in an open office, consider using a wired microphone for the best Flow experience. It been a game-changer in our office—here’s our favorite option (not sponsored, just sharing :).

Can I listen to music while using Flow?

With recent macOS updates (specifically Sequoia 15.3 or 15.4), Apple has introduced new security restrictions blocking access to the functionality that allowed us to mute/pause audio temporarily. This functionality was what we used to detect whether music was playing and issue play/pause commands, which enabled the mute functionality in our app. Since this change was intentional from Apple for security reasons, it has affected our ability to provide this feature.

Our team is actively exploring alternative solutions to restore this functionality. In the meantime, we recommend pausing and unpausing your audio manually as a workaround.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this.

How do I use headphones with Flow?

When it comes to using Flow with your headphones, we recommend your device’s built in mic or a wired mic instead of a Bluetooth connected one.

Bluetooth microphones (not recommended) will make your Flow experience slower due to technical constraints.

​
To change your connected microphone

1. Choose your mic: Set your preferred microphone by right-clicking the Flow bar or opening settings in the Hub.

2. Listen for the Cue: Flow will play a sound to let you know when the mic is ready. (You can manage this in ‘interaction sounds’ settings)

​
Can I use my Airpods with my phone but still dictate with the built-in MacOS mic?

Yes, you can! If you’ve found your AirPods suddenly jumping ship from your iPhone to your Mac when using Flow, you’re not alone. This is an Apple feature.

​
Workaround Options

  1. The One-Time Switch: After manually switching your AirPods back to your phone once, they should behave for subsequent dictations
  2. Bluetooth Timeout: Temporarily disable Bluetooth on your Mac to prevent it from snagging your AirPods
  3. Take Control: Disable mic auto-switching in your AirPods settings for a more predictable experience
