I recently discovered an excellent app that I want to recommend to everybody. It’s called Wispr Flow and it provides the best speech-to-text function I’ve ever seen. The contrast with the native Android speech-to-text could not be any starker.
One of the amazing functions of this app is that it automatically figures out what language I am speaking without me having to switch over or press any buttons. I write in a boatload of languages, switching between them constantly and without thinking, and it’s really great to have an app that can figure out what I’m doing without any additional effort on my part. Unlike the native Android speech-to-text, Wispr Flow has no problem with punctuation. It even figures out when to put a word in inverted commas or when an exclamation mark is needed.
I have no idea what feats of amazingness the paid version of this app does. I’m using the free version, and I already find it to be sensationally helpful.
A hilarious thing happened to me while using this app yesterday. I was doing my German exercises but I was still feeling crappy from my shingles vaccine. My German pronunciation must have been even worse than usual because the Wispr Flow app started writing down what I was saying in Russian. I find this extraordinary. The app knew that I was speaking in a Russian accent!
N says he’s jealous of the app because I’ve been going on and on about how much I love it so I will pipe down already. But it’s a great app.
