Usually. Recognition runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac wherever your language supports it. Where your language has no on-device model, your device sends the audio to Apple to convert it to text. The language picker marks those languages before you start. On iPhone, a full-screen notice can appear if on-device recognition repeatedly fails and the app falls back to Apple; the floating window shows no notice. On a Windows PC, recognition runs on the PC once the language’s speech model has been downloaded, in 31 languages. Microsoft online speech is optional and starts switched off: if you turn it on, Microsoft recognises a language that has no model on the PC, over the internet. Your scripts, your audio and the transcripts are never sent to us. The privacy policy has the detail.

Voice following works in every language your iPhone, iPad or Mac can recognise. On current iOS that is 60+ locales. The app’s own interface is in 16 languages. Spoken commands exist in 10 of those, with phrases you can edit: English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Polish, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian and Turkish. They also work in Sound and Constant, in any of those ten that your device can recognise without sending the audio to Apple, once you allow the microphone and speech recognition. Sound mode scrolls when it hears you speak, without matching words, so it keeps a script moving even where your device cannot transcribe. Wispim for Windows follows your voice in 31 languages once the language’s speech model has downloaded, scrolls in Sound and Constant in any language, and has the spoken commands in English, Russian, German and Polish.

There is no 3-2-1 count. There is a start delay you choose before the take: off, 5, 10 or 20 seconds, in Voice, Sound and Constant alike, shown inside the floating window as well as full screen. After it runs, Voice and Sound wait until you speak and Constant sets off on its own.

Through Microsoft. Pro on Windows is bought in the Microsoft Store, so Microsoft handles a refund under its own refund policy, and you ask for one through your Microsoft account. Write to us as well if something is broken: we would rather fix it.

For the iPad and the Mac, and for Windows, yes. Wispim runs on iPhone with iOS 16 or later, on iPad with iPadOS 16 or later and on Mac with macOS 13 or later, and all three come from the same App Store page. Wispim for Windows comes from the Microsoft Store and runs on a 64-bit PC with Windows 10 version 2004 or later, Windows 11 included. Pro there is bought in the Microsoft Store, and Pro bought in one store works only in the apps from that store. There is no Apple Watch or Vision Pro version. The Android app is in closed testing on Google Play and is not public. To join the beta, write to support@wispim.com with the address of the Google account your phone uses.
