Who should pick which?
Pick Wispr Flow if…
- you dictate across several devices (Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android);
- you are rolling it out to a team with central billing and user management;
- you also want meeting notes (Wispr Notetaker, on Mac and Windows) in the same tool.
Pick Dikto if…
- you mostly work on a Mac and want pricing in euros;
- you speak one language and write in another (30+ languages);
- you want to rewrite, translate or summarize selected text in any app;
- you want an app built in France, on Mistral AI by default.
Default: Mistral AI, stays in Europe. Dikto is built in France, on Mistral AI (EU) with a backend on Scaleway. Optional: OpenAI, selected in the app’s “AI provider” setting after a consent prompt (contract with OpenAI Ireland Ltd); audio and text are then sent to OpenAI and may be processed outside the EU, including in the US. Some processing or sub-processors may sit outside the EU. Dikto does not intentionally store raw audio or full transcripts.
