Wispr Flow is good. It's also a cloud service.
Credit where it's due: Wispr Flow is polished, a lot of people like it, and the AI editing is clever. But it works by sending your dictation to servers for processing. Their own documentation is upfront about that, and it's why there's no offline mode. It's also a subscription, $15 a month or $12 a month billed annually, with a free tier that caps how many words you can dictate each week.

What changes when it runs on your Mac
Unlimited free voice typing
Speak into the Mac apps you already use. Starter has no word limit or expiry, and keeps your recordings, transcripts, playback, search, and tags.
Help throughout your day
Ask a question, attach a document, use your current screen, or draft a follow-up. Local AI is included in Pro.
Meetings you can revisit
Pro records meeting audio on your Mac without a bot. Keep the transcript with separate speaker labels, ask about it, or create a summary.
Recall is your choice
Opt in to keep permitted work context. Today’s timeline and earlier-day overviews are free. Pro adds full retained context, search, and daily briefs.
Local by default
Transcription and Recall collection run on your Mac. Local AI works offline after setup. Optional cloud answers send selected text to the provider you enable.
Pro for $39 once
Meetings and local AI for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Try Pro for 10 days with intentional Pro use. Optional cloud provider charges are separate.
The same job, running on your Mac
The text lands at your cursor, transcribed on the machine itself. It works exactly like this with Wi-Fi off.
Solo Mode pastes your words straight at the cursor.
Works with any app that has a cursor.

What Wispr Flow does better
It runs on Windows and iPhone too
Enzo is Mac-only, and Apple Silicon at that. If you dictate across platforms, Flow covers more of them.
Its AI rewriting goes further
Flow can reshape tone and formatting as you speak. Enzo turns what you said into clean, punctuated text and leaves the wording yours.
Both free tiers stay available
Flow's free plan has a weekly word cap. Enzo Starter keeps Solo, recordings in Speak, Recall collection, today's timeline, and past-day overviews free after the Pro trial ends.
If you need dictation on a Windows machine or your phone, Flow is the better fit. If your work lives on a Mac and you'd rather your voice stay there too, keep reading.
Try it next to Flow
There's nothing to migrate, so the easiest comparison is to run both for a few days. Install Enzo, keep your Flow subscription running, and use whichever key feels natural. Starter is free, the 10-day Pro trial starts when you first use a Pro feature, and no account or card is required. Setup and model downloads don't count. If you buy and change your mind, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Questions
What stays free in Enzo?
Unlimited voice typing, saved recordings and transcripts, playback, search, and tags across all saved days. Live Solo text is free with its optional component. Recall is opt-in and includes today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews. Starter has no word limit or expiry.
What does Pro add?
Pro includes meetings with speaker identification, local AI for recordings, documents, your current screen, and Recall, plus summaries, rewritten notes, email drafts, and daily briefs. It adds full retained Recall history and context search. Pro is $39 once for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Optional cloud provider billing is separate.
When does the Pro trial start?
The 10-day trial starts with intentional use of a Pro feature. Setup and model downloads do not count. No card or account is needed. Voice typing stays free afterward, and saved recordings and generated results remain readable.
What stays on my Mac, and what can use the internet?
Transcription, speaker recognition, and Recall collection run on your Mac. Ask uses Local by default. If you choose DeepSeek Flash with your own API key, your question, recent conversation, and selected text context go directly to DeepSeek. That text can include excerpts from recordings, Recall, documents, and your screen. Raw audio, files, screenshots, and images are not uploaded by that request. Optional web research sends a public query directly to a search provider and retrieves selected sources. License checks, downloads, updates, and optional analytics also use the internet.
How is recording history different from Recall?
Saved recordings stay accessible in Speak across all saved days, including on Starter. Recall is a separate, optional timeline of permitted work context. Starter shows today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews; Pro adds detailed retained history, context search, and AI. Recall retention is adjustable on every plan and defaults to 30 days.
