The three differences that matter
01
Your audio can stay on your phone
Wispr Flow sends every dictation to the cloud — there is no other mode. airtxt has a toggle. In on-device mode, transcription runs entirely on your iPhone and the audio never touches a server; only the finished text goes out, encrypted, for AI cleanup. If you work with anything sensitive — patients, clients, deals — this is the difference between “trust our servers” and “the recording never existed anywhere else.”
02
A bot attends the meetings you can't
Wispr Flow's Notetaker captures meeting audio on your Mac or Windows computer. airtxt's meeting capture does not depend on your computer's audio. airtxt's bot joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call as a participant — not a file you upload afterward — keeps a transcript with speaker labels, and drafts the follow-up email for you to review. Double-booked? Attend one call, send the bot to the other.
03
One hand, one button
Hold the side button and say “dictate with airtxt” — the app opens and starts recording. On an iPhone 15 Pro or later, one press of the Action Button does it silently. You don't need to be in a text field first: speak, and the cleaned-up text is ready to paste wherever you land.
Built around your iPhone
airtxt brings dictation, Memo, and a participant meeting bot together on iPhone, with a choice of on-device or cloud transcription. Wispr Flow also supports Mac, Windows, and Android; airtxt is currently iPhone-first. For your phone, compare the audio choice, meeting workflow, and monthly plan allowances.
What about Utter?
Utter is the other name that comes up. It's Mac-first (the iPhone app is newer) and its Pro plan is cheaper at $5.99/mo, partly because you can bring your own AI keys. Worth knowing before you compare: Utter's meeting transcription works from recordings you upload — there is no bot that joins the call for you. If live meetings are part of why you're switching, that's the line to check.
Common questions
Is there a Wispr Flow alternative with a meeting bot?+
Wispr Flow's Notetaker records meeting audio on Mac or Windows. airtxt's meeting capture does not depend on your computer's audio. airtxt sends a bot in your place — it joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams as a participant, labels who said what, and drafts the follow-up email.
Is there a Wispr Flow alternative that works on-device?+
Wispr Flow is cloud-only — every dictation is sent to their servers. airtxt gives you a toggle: on-device transcription that never sends audio anywhere, or cloud transcription when you want maximum accuracy. You switch with one tap.
How much cheaper is airtxt than Wispr Flow?+
airtxt Pro is $9.99/month; Wispr Flow Pro is $15/month. That's about a third less, and airtxt includes the meeting bot and Memo voice notes at that price.
What is Wispr Flow better at?+
Wispr has been shipping longer and supports more platforms today (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android). If you dictate mostly on a desktop right now, Wispr covers that; airtxt's desktop apps are on the roadmap. On iPhone, the two are head-to-head.
