Default Hotkey
- macOS: Shift+Tab
- Windows: Shift+Tab
How It Works — Hold to Speak
Weesper Neon Flow uses a hold-to-speak approach:
- Hold the hotkey → recording starts and the HUD appears
- Speak clearly while keeping the key pressed
- Release the hotkey → recording stops, audio is transcribed, and text is inserted at your cursor
This means you must keep the hotkey held down for the entire duration of your dictation. When you release the key, dictation stops immediately and your speech is transcribed.
There is no toggle mode (press once to start, press again to stop). This is by design — hold-to-speak gives you precise control and prevents accidental recordings.
Changing the Hotkey
- Open Weesper Neon Flow Settings
- Go to the Hotkey section
- Click the hotkey field
- Press your desired key combination
- The change takes effect immediately — no restart needed
Hotkey Conflicts
If another app uses the same shortcut, Weesper will alert you with a clear explanation and suggest how to fix it. You can either:
- Change the Weesper hotkey to a different combination
- Disable the conflicting shortcut in the other app
Tips
- Choose a hotkey that’s easy to hold with one hand while speaking
- Avoid system-level shortcuts (e.g., Cmd+Space for Spotlight on macOS)
- The Fn key can also be used as a trigger
- For longer dictations, find a comfortable hand position — rest your finger on the key rather than pressing hard
