What is Wispr Flow Notetaker? The dictation app's move into meetings

Wispr Flow built its name on dictation. In August 2026 it added meeting notes. Here's what launched, with sources.

In short
  • Launched on Mac on 5 August 2026, inside the existing Wispr Flow app.
  • Live transcript, summaries, named speakers and catch-up during the meeting.
  • Uses calendar, connected apps and personal dictionaries for context.
  • Included in existing Free and Pro plans at launch; Windows announced as coming.

What launched

On 5 August 2026, Wispr Flow added Notetaker to its Mac app, its first product beyond dictation (9to5Mac). It shows a live transcript, writes summaries and notes, and lets you ask it to catch you up during a meeting.

How it works

Notetaker runs inside the Wispr Flow desktop app and captures meetings without joining the call, a design TechCrunch compared to Granola (TechCrunch). It draws on your calendar, connected apps and Wispr Flow's personal dictionary of names and terms to improve accuracy (9to5Mac).

Plans and devices

At launch, release notes described Notetaker as included in existing plans, available on Mac with Windows coming, and offering pre-meeting briefs and MCP access for AI assistants (releases.sh).

Before you use it

  • As with any bot-free tool, tell participants you're transcribing. See bot vs bot-free.
  • Read how meeting data is stored and used; connecting Slack, calendars and AI assistants widens where notes can go. Our privacy checklist helps.
