Wispr Flow launches Android app with Hinglish support

AI-powered dictation—which refers to speech-to-text technology—startup Wispr Flow has launched its Android app today. The release follows the company’s previous rollouts on Mac and Windows, as well as an iOS launch in June 2025. While iOS users accessed the tool through a dedicated keyboard, the Android interface utilizes a floating bubble. Users can hold the bubble to dictate, or press it once to start and then press a close button to stop the process. Like its other versions, the app cleans up filler words and formats text based on the context of the spoken content. Along with the Android release, the company completed an infrastructure rewrite that makes its dictation 30% faster than before. Even with an early rollout to select users, the company noted that users have spoken over 1.3 million words in English in the last few days.

A key feature of the new Android release is a dedicated model for Hinglish, which is a mix of Hindi and English. The model is designed for people in India who speak in a mix-coded way. Tanay Kothari, co-founder and CEO of Wispr Flow, explained the personal motivation behind the feature: “If you’re someone like me, English and Hindi weave together when I’m chatting with family and colleagues back home. This is one of those times when I just had to build something for me: the first voice model to actually support transcription in Hinglish instead of traditional Hindi script,” Kothari said.

The new app supports translation in over 100 languages and can work across other applications. While numerous AI-powered dictation tools exist for desktop and iOS, Wispr Flow is among the few operating on Android. Its launch places it in direct competition with Typeless, a rival dictation app that launched its own Android application last month.

The expansion comes as Wispr Flow continues to secure significant venture capital backing. The startup’s last funding round valued the company at $700 million, according to sources. To date, Wispr Flow has raised $81 million in total funding, structured across the following recent rounds:

• June: $30 million in a funding round led by Menlo Ventures.
• November: $25 million in a funding round led by Notable Capital.
