What is Wisperly? +
Wisperly is an AI-powered voice dictation application that converts your speech into clean, formatted text in any app on your computer. It works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and supports 58+ languages.
How does Wisperly differ from built-in dictation? +
Built-in dictation tools (like Apple Dictation or Windows Speech Recognition) provide basic transcription. Wisperly goes further with AI-powered auto-editing that removes filler words, fixes grammar, adds smart punctuation, and formats text based on context. It also works consistently across all platforms and apps.
Is Wisperly free? +
Yes. Wisperly offers a free tier with 1,000 words per month, 5 languages, and basic AI editing. The Pro plan at $15/month includes unlimited words, 58+ languages, advanced AI editing, custom vocabulary, and priority support.
What platforms does Wisperly support? +
Wisperly is available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (AppImage, .deb, .rpm, and .tar.gz). It works in every application on your computer — no plugins or extensions needed.
Does Wisperly work in my app? +
Yes. Wisperly works at the operating system level, so it types text wherever your cursor is. This means it works in any application — Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Slack, VS Code, your email client, your browser, or any other app with a text field.
How accurate is Wisperly? +
Wisperly achieves 97% base accuracy across supported languages. Accuracy improves further with custom vocabulary training for specialized terms in your field (medical, legal, technical, etc.).
What languages does Wisperly support? +
Wisperly supports 58+ languages with automatic language detection. It also handles mixed-language dictation — you can switch between languages mid-sentence and Wisperly will recognize both. The free tier includes 5 languages; Pro includes all 58+.
Is my voice data secure? +
Absolutely. Wisperly is SOC 2 Type II certified. Audio is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Voice recordings are processed and immediately discarded — we never store your audio. Enterprise customers get additional options including zero data retention and optional on-device processing.
Is Wisperly HIPAA compliant? +
Wisperly supports HIPAA compliance for healthcare organizations. We offer Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), end-to-end encryption, zero data retention options, and audit logging for Enterprise customers. Contact our sales team at sales@wisperly.io for details.
How do I get started? +
Download Wisperly from our homepage — it takes under a minute. No account creation required for the free tier. After installation, press the global hotkey (customizable), speak, and your text appears wherever your cursor is.
Can I use Wisperly offline? +
Wisperly offers an optional offline mode for Pro and Enterprise users. Offline mode processes speech locally on your device without sending data to the cloud — ideal for air-gapped environments, confidential work, or traveling without internet.
What is the global hotkey? +
The global hotkey is a keyboard shortcut that activates Wisperly from any app. Press it to start dictating, press it again (or pause speaking) to stop. The default hotkey is customizable in Wisperly's settings.
Does Wisperly support custom vocabulary? +
Yes. Pro users can add custom words, names, technical terms, and abbreviations to their personal dictionary. This improves recognition accuracy for specialized fields like medicine, law, engineering, and software development.
How does Wisperly handle punctuation? +
Wisperly's AI automatically inserts punctuation — commas, periods, question marks, exclamation points, colons, and em dashes — based on your speech patterns and context. You can also speak punctuation explicitly (say "period" or "new paragraph") for precise control.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription? +
Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After cancellation, your account reverts to the free tier.
