What it does.
Cleans up as it types.
Drops um and uh, handles no wait corrections, and understands new line and bullet point.
Learns your words.
Add names and jargon so they are spelled right, and snippets that expand a phrase into longer text.
A line until you talk.
A small indicator turns into a live waveform while you record. Five themes, any size, and it never takes focus.
Rules per app.
Always paste, copy only, or off, for each app.
Your history, on your PC.
Search everything you dictated. It is saved only on this PC.
Get Flowra.
Download for WindowsSet it up
The installer is large because it includes the speech engine.
- Run the installer. Windows may warn that it is unsigned: choose More info → Run anyway.
- The first launch downloads the speech model (about 1.6 GB on an NVIDIA GPU), so you need internet once.
- Hold Right Ctrl, speak, and let go.
Flowra isn’t code-signed yet. It has only been tested on one PC: Windows 11 with an NVIDIA RTX 3060. Windows 10 and PCs without an NVIDIA GPU haven’t been tested, and only English has been tried. It can’t type into apps running as administrator, so the text is copied instead. Report an issue · View the source
