Wispr Flow Introduces Innovative AI Dictation App on Android with Unique Floating UI
On February 23, 2026, AI-powered dictation startup Wispr Flow made a grand entrance into the Android ecosystem. The company launched its advanced voice-to-text technology on the world’s largest mobile platform, introducing a unique floating bubble interface.
Unlike its iOS counterpart that operates as a dedicated keyboard, the Android app features a floating bubble. This bubble appears across all applications whenever a text field is available. Users can hold the bubble to dictate in real-time or tap once to start recording. The interface disappears automatically when no longer needed. The app is designed to eliminate filler words like “um” and “uh,” provide real-time self-corrections, and automatically handle punctuation and formatting based on context.
“Android finally gave us the freedom to build the voice experience we always wanted. Only when the platform gets out of the way can we truly expect voice to replace typing on mobile,” said Tanay Kothari, co-founder and CEO of Wispr Flow.
The company also announced a complete infrastructure rewrite that makes dictation 30% faster than before. Additionally, it has added support for over 100 languages, including a dedicated model for Hinglish—a blend of Hindi and English widely spoken in India.
Wispr Flow has successfully raised $81 million in total funding. Its latest round reportedly valued the startup at $700 million. The company secured $30 million led by Menlo Ventures in June 2025, followed by another $25 million round led by Notable Capital in November.
During its early access period, the app is offering unlimited free usage on Android. However, this is likely to transition to a paid model similar to other platforms where unlimited access costs $12 per month.
