AI-powered dictation startup Wispr Flow has launched its Android app today. The company released its app for Mac and Windows first, then launched on iOS in June 2025.
On iOS, users could use Wispr Flow through a dedicated keyboard. On Android, the interface is a bit different, as you can access the dictionary through a floating bubble. You can hold the bubble and dictate, or press once to start, and then press the close button to stop the process. Just like on other platforms, in addition to dictation, the app cleans up the filter words and also formats the text based on the context of the app and spoken content.
“Android finally gave us the freedom to build the voice experience we always wanted. Only when the platform gets out of the way can we truly expect voice to replace typing on mobile,” Tanay Kothari, co-founder and CEO of the startup, said.
The app can support translation in over 100 languages and can work across other apps. Along with the Android app release, Wispr Flow said that it has done an infrastructure rewrite that makes dictation 30% faster than before.
While there are tons of AI-powered dictation apps available on desktop and iOS, Wispr Flow is one of the few available on Android with this launch, besides Typeless, which launched an app for the platform last month.
What’s more, the company has also released a new model for Hinglish, a mix of Hindi and English, for people in India who speak in mix-coded way.

“If you’re someone like me, English and Hindi weave together when I’m chatting with family and colleagues back home. This is one of those times when I just had to build something for me: the first voice model to actually support transcription in Hinglish instead of traditional Hindi script,” Kothari said.

The company noted that even with early rollout to select users, users have spoken over 1.3 million words in English in the last few days.
Wispr Flow has been one of the more popular startups in the category of AI-powered dictation apps that have also attracted significant venture capital attention. In June, the startup raised $30 million in funding led by Menlo Ventures in June. Within a few months, in November, the company secured $25 million in a round led by Notable Capital. Wispr Flow has raised $81 million in total, with its last round valued at $700 million according to sources.
