How it works
Hold, speak, release
-
Hold the shortcut
Place your cursor where the text should go, then hold the dictation shortcut (Shift+Tab by default, configurable in Settings).
-
Speak
Keep the shortcut held while you talk.
-
Release
Release the shortcut. Your speech is transcribed on your PC and the text is inserted at the cursor.
Target-app permissions and compatibility can affect insertion: an app launched as administrator may block text from an app running with lower privileges. Text not inserted in some Windows apps
System requirements
What your PC needs
The minimum gets the app running; recommended hardware makes local dictation faster after you release the shortcut.

Why the SmartScreen screen appears
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is reputation-based: it shows this blue screen for apps that are new or not yet widely downloaded, even when they are digitally signed. A red warning is different: if you see one, do not proceed.

Windows dictation FAQ
Does Weesper Neon Flow work offline on Windows?
Speech recognition runs on your PC with a local Whisper model, so your audio and dictated text are not processed in the cloud. Internet is still used to download the app and models, activate a license, run occasional license checks, handle billing and send optional diagnostics, which never include audio or dictated text.
Does it run on Windows 10?
Yes. Weesper Neon Flow needs Windows 10 build 19041 or later, or Windows 11, with an AVX2-capable x64 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 500 MB of free disk space. The WebView2 Runtime is installed automatically if it is missing.
How is it different from Windows voice typing (Win+H)?
Microsoft documents that voice typing uses online speech recognition powered by Azure Speech services and needs an internet connection. Weesper Neon Flow recognizes speech on your PC and inserts the text when you release the shortcut.
Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning when I install it?
SmartScreen is reputation-based and shows a blue warning for apps that are new or not yet widely downloaded, even when they are signed. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway” to continue. A red warning means a known threat: do not proceed.
Which apps can I dictate into?
Desktop apps where you can type, such as Gmail, Slack, Notion and Word. Target-app permissions and compatibility can affect insertion; an app launched as administrator may block text from Weesper.
Is Weesper Neon Flow free on Windows?
The 15-day trial is free with every feature unlocked and no credit card. After it, the app switches to a free plan limited to 60 seconds per dictation and 1,500 words per week, with some history and productivity actions locked, unless you choose Monthly, Annual or a one-time Lifetime license in the app.
