For a free month of Wispr Flow Pro: ref.wisprflow.ai/ali_shorts I run an online business school, and a big chunk of my week is replying to students on Slack. That used to be an hour of context switching and typing, but now, I just talk into my computer. One of our students was struggling to drive sales from her Instagram content, so instead of typing I hit the Wispr Flow shortcut and replied her within a few seconds, instead of a few minutes. It’s voice to text for pretty much any app. It strips out the ums and errs, handles capitalisation, and it even matches tone, so if you type in all lowercase in WhatsApp, that's how your dictated message comes out. No accidental business emails in the group chat. I barely type anything on my computer anymore. Paid partnership with Wispr Flow
