Why people switch from Wispr Flow.

01

Privacy — no screen data collection

dicted captures neither screen images nor on-screen text — only the audio you choose to dictate, which is transcribed and discarded in the same request. What happens on your screen stays on your screen.

02

Linux support

Wispr Flow is Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android only. There is no Linux version and no public Linux roadmap. If you use Linux, Wispr Flow is not an option. dicted ships a native AppImage that works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, and any glibc-based distribution.

03

3-in-1 at around the same price

At $144/yr, Wispr Flow gives you dictation. At $143.99/yr, dicted Pro gives you dictation + meeting transcription + unlimited AI text actions. If you were paying separately for a meeting tool and a writing assistant, dicted consolidates all three at around the same price you're already paying.

Around the same annual price. Three tools.

dicted Pro is $143.99/yr — around the same as Wispr Flow's $144/yr annual price. You get dictation, meeting transcription, and AI text actions. Not just dictation.
