Voz vs Wispr Flow: which one to pick

Pick Voz if you use a Mac and want dictation that is free, runs without an account and keeps audio on the machine. Pick Wispr Flow if you need Windows, iPhone or Android, or a team tool with admin controls.

I build Voz, so I'm biased toward it. Prices are as of November 2026, linked to their sources.

Pick Voz if

• You want no subscription and no word cap. Voz is free. Wispr Flow's free plan warns you at 2,000 words a week and blocks new dictations above 5,000 on desktop.
• You don't want audio on a server. Speech recognition runs on your Mac with NVIDIA's Parakeet models, and cleanup runs on Apple's on-device model. Wispr always transcribes in the cloud.
• You work offline. Voz works without a connection. Wispr Flow needs one.
• You want to change how it works. Write a TypeScript extension, or ask your coding agent to write one. Every menu action is also a voz command, and voz mcp gives AI apps the same commands. See dictation for Claude Code for one way to use that.

Pick Wispr Flow if

• You use Windows, iPhone or Android. Voz runs only on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 26.
• You need more than 25 languages. Wispr says it supports 100+ languages. Voz supports 25.
• You're rolling it out to a team. Wispr's Pro plan adds a shared dictionary and team workspace. Its Growth and Enterprise plans add SSO and admin controls.
• You want per-app styles without setup. Wispr adapts its writing to each app. In Voz, per-app behavior is an extension you write or install.

Where Voz falls short

Voz runs only on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 26. It has no Windows, Linux or phone app. It supports 25 languages, fewer than Wispr. It's a younger project with a smaller user base than most dictation apps, so expect fewer polished defaults.

2. When Voz asks, grant microphone, Accessibility and Input Monitoring access. Voz needs Accessibility to type into other apps.
3. Tap right Command, talk, and tap again.
4. Add names and terms with voz vocabulary add Kubernetes.
