What is SayDart?
SayDart automatically learns the words you correct and the words you use most, so it takes less effort and understands you better the more you use it.
SayDart is voice input for any app on Windows and Mac (beta). Press Right Alt (Right Option on Mac), talk, and AI cleanup removes filler words and restarts before the text lands at your cursor. It does live dictation into the field you already have open — not long recording, meeting transcription or speaker separation.
SayDart has a free plan with a modest weekly limit. Pro costs $15/month, or $144/year ($12/month billed yearly, save $36 or 20%). Prices exclude tax.

Platforms and where you write
Wispr Flow runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android and syncs across them. That helps if you dictate on your phone between meetings and finish on your laptop.
SayDart runs on Windows and Mac. If you need the same tool on your phone, Wispr Flow fits.
Both put text where your cursor is: Slack, email, docs, and AI chat boxes. You don't need a separate editor.
Dictation features — Cleanup, dictionary, and styles
- Wispr Flow removes filler words, adds punctuation, and formats your text. You can set how much Auto Cleanup edits, choose a different style for each app, and use a dictionary plus snippets.
- With SayDart, a small capsule shows a waveform while you talk. "Um", "uh" and restarts just disappear. Add a term to Dictionary once and it's in your dictionary on every computer you sign in to, so SayDart writes it your way; say a shortcut phrase and a saved Snippet drops in. Select an error, press Right Alt + Space on Windows, Right Option + Space on Mac, and ask the Assistant.
Dictation features — Voice translation
- SayDart has built-in voice translation. Choose a target language, optionally enable AI cleanup of translated text, and assign a translation shortcut. You can also translate saved transcripts in History.
- Wispr Flow supports 100+ languages and detects the language you speak. Cleanup keeps your language mix. To translate, use Command Mode ("Translate this into…") or a Transform on selected text.
Dictation features — Editing by voice and History
- Wispr Flow has Command Mode on Mac and Windows. It's an experimental feature: select text and speak an instruction to edit it, draft a reply, or search.
- SayDart keeps History with multiple result versions. Reopen the original text, translate it, and switch between versions. Playback depends on whether the audio was saved.
For developers: dictating prompts to Cursor, Claude Code and Codex
Wispr Flow's help center says it recognizes variable names visible in Cursor, Windsurf and standard VS Code, and turns spoken file names into @-tags in Cursor and Windsurf AI chat panels, on Mac and Windows. Wispr Flow fits if you want to tag files by voice.
SayDart is not a plugin for Cursor, Claude Code or Codex, and it does not tag files, read your repository or run commands. Press your Voice input shortcut (Right Alt on Windows and Right Option on macOS), say the goal, the context, what must not change and how to check the result, then paste or insert the text into the input box and send it yourself. Select a rambling request and ask the assistant to structure it, add repository and library names to Dictionary, and keep standing instructions as Snippets. For Claude Code or Codex in a terminal, dictate into a notes field or chat box, review, then paste into the prompt.
SayDart gives you one hotkey for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, GitHub and Slack. Describe the bug, the files, and what not to touch. Select it and ask the assistant to tidy it into a structured prompt.
Meetings and Notetaker
If you need meeting notes, Wispr Flow has them and SayDart doesn't.
Wispr Notetaker records meetings on your Mac or Windows computer, with no bot joining the call. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, and in-person conversations. You get a transcript with speakers named, a summary organized by topic, and next steps. Free accounts have a weekly meeting limit.
SayDart has no meeting Notetaker. If you need to capture calls, use Wispr or a dedicated meeting tool. If you want to turn your own spoken thoughts into clean text in the apps you already use, SayDart fits, including dictating a summary into Notion after a call.

Whisper, “whisper flow” or Wispr Flow?
OpenAI Whisper is a speech recognition model. Wispr Flow is a dictation app. SayDart is a different voice typing app. SayDart does not use Whisper.
Searches for “whisper flow” or “wisper flow” may refer to Wispr Flow. Similar names also appear on open-source Whisper streaming projects, so check the publisher and whether you need an app download or code for running a model.

Wispr Flow's US list prices (checked on its Help Center on November 1, 2026): Free with a 2,000-word weekly allowance on desktop and limited weekly use on mobile; Pro at $15/user/month or $12/user/month billed annually ($144/year). Growth and Enterprise plans are listed for teams.

Looking for a Wispr Flow alternative?
If you searched for a Wispr Flow alternative for Windows or Mac, compare features honestly: Wispr Flow adds mobile apps, a meeting Notetaker and enterprise compliance options (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA-ready with a BAA per Wispr). SayDart focuses on live dictation on the desktop with auto cleanup, assistant edits on selected text, voice translation and History on your computer.
Stay on Wispr Flow if you need phone dictation, meeting notes or those enterprise controls. Choose SayDart if you want one hotkey across Windows and Mac apps, a free plan to start, and Pro at $15/month when you need unlimited use. Neither product knocks the other out for every job — try both free plans for a week.
Whispr Flow, wisper flow, whisper flow — common spellings
People often type whispr flow, wisper flow or whisper flow when they mean Wispr Flow, the commercial dictation app. OpenAI Whisper is a separate speech recognition model; SayDart does not use Whisper. "Whisper flow" can also refer to open-source streaming projects that wrap Whisper.

Wispr Flow promo codes and discounts
Wispr Flow lists student, nonprofit and partner discounts on its own pricing pages rather than a public promo code box at checkout. Third-party coupon sites that promise a Wispr Flow promo code are usually outdated or unrelated. If you are comparing cost, check Wispr Flow current Pro and annual prices on the official site, then weigh SayDart Pro at $15/month or $144/year ($12/month billed yearly).
SayDart does not require a promo code to start: the free plan covers everyday dictation with a modest weekly limit, and Pro unlocks unlimited use of current features.
Open-source and local Wispr Flow alternatives
People who want a Wispr Flow alternative that runs more locally often look at open-source or pay-once apps: Handy (free, open source, Windows/Mac/Linux), FluidVoice (local-first, Mac-first), VoiceInk (pay once on Apple Silicon), and community forks sometimes searched as GladiaFlow/Gladio. These trade managed sync, polish and support for offline control.
SayDart is a managed desktop app for Windows and Mac with AI cleanup, dictionary learning, history and voice translation — a different trade than compiling a local stack, and a fit when you want one installer across the apps you already write in.
Willow Voice vs Wispr Flow
