## Best for

Heavy dictation users who want Wispr Flow results without sending audio to a server or paying monthly.

## Why it deserves attention

FluidVoice pairs on-device speech recognition with Fluid-1, a custom local model that removes filler words and formats the result before it reaches any app. It is GPL-3.0, free forever, has passed 350,000 downloads and 12,000 GitHub stars, and supports custom vocabulary plus a command mode. The Mac build needs macOS 15 and is mature; Windows and iPhone are still in beta, so cross-platform users should expect rough edges.
