Wispro

Wispro is a free Windows application that lets users dictate text instead of typing it, with the tagline "your voice is the new keyboard." Speech is transcribed and then automatically cleaned up, removing filler words, fixing grammar, and formatting the result, before being pasted into whatever application is currently focused, whether that's an email client, IDE, chat app, or document editor. It offers three modes: Basic, which pastes a raw transcription; Smart, which uses AI to edit and polish the text; and Command, which lets a spoken instruction trigger AI-generated text rather than a literal transcription. A personal dictionary handles custom terminology, voice snippets let users insert saved templates by voice, and formatting adapts based on which application is currently active. It recognizes over 100 languages automatically and encrypts stored API keys and data locally. Wispro runs silently in the system tray and is activated with a customizable hotkey, working across essentially any Windows software rather than a fixed list of supported apps, though the site does highlight compatibility with tools like Slack, Teams, Gmail, VS Code, and Zoom. It requires no account or subscription. Being Windows-only is its main limitation: there's no macOS, Linux, or mobile version.
