A Wispr Flow alternative built for desktop work

Use AI dictation on macOS or Windows, keep your terminology accurate, and turn speech into structured notes in Pixno.

See Pixno Voice Input

Wispr Flow covers more platforms — if you mostly dictate on your phone, it's a fair pick. Pixno is built for desktop work: a polish layer that respects your terminology, and dictation that can end up as structured notes, not just text in a box.

Three differences for desktop work

Polish that uses your terms

Pixno removes filler words and uses personal-dictionary and context evidence to repair terms before the text reaches your active field.

Mixed-language dictation

Speak with more than one language in the same thought. Pixno's polish layer is designed to keep mixed-language speech readable.

A path from speech to notes

Voice Input connects with the Pixno note workspace, where dictated material can become structured notes and part of your knowledge base.

Start dictating in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Download Voice Input

    Choose the macOS Universal or arm64 DMG, or the Windows EXE or MSI installer.

  2. Step 2

    Press the desktop shortcut

    Use Alt+Space on macOS or Ctrl+Alt+Space on Windows in the app where you want text to appear.

  3. Step 3

    Speak naturally

    Finish your thought and let Pixno polish the transcript before it enters the active field.

Questions about switching from Wispr Flow

Is Pixno free?

Pixno Voice Input is free to start. Open the Voice Input page for the current plan and download options.

Do I need a Pixno account?

You can download the installer without signing in. Voice Input then opens Pixno in your browser so you can connect your account before use.

How is the polish different from Flow's AI edits?

Pixno removes filler words, repairs terms with personal-dictionary and context evidence, and handles mixed-language speech. Flow has its own AI edits; the fair way to compare is to try both on your own writing.

Can I switch from Flow easily?

You can download Pixno Voice Input, use the desktop shortcut, and start speaking in your current app. There is no importer for Wispr Flow settings; setup is just download, shortcut, speak.
