FreeFlow is a free, open-source macOS dictation app that transcribes speech via Groq's fast API and pastes cleaned text into any focused text field. It offers context-aware cleanup, custom vocabulary, voice macros, and an edit mode for transforming selected text with spoken instructions.

Use cases

• dictate text into any app on macOS instead of typing
• replace Wispr Flow or Superwhisper without a subscription
• clean up filler words and punctuation from raw speech-to-text output
• dictate names and jargon correctly using nearby app context
• transform selected text with spoken commands like 'make this shorter'
• define voice macros that paste predefined text snippets

When to choose

• you want fast, subscription-free voice dictation on a Mac
• you need AI-powered cleanup of dictated text with custom vocabulary
• you prefer open source and want to control your transcription provider via OpenAI-compatible endpoints

When to avoid

• you need fully offline or local transcription with no API calls
• you use Windows or Linux rather than macOS
• you don't want to sign up for a Groq or other API key
