Wispr Flow on Mac was truly a great invention. It literally saves me multiple hours every single day because every new feature I build starts with a 5 minute prompt to Claude that would have been 20 minutes of typing. Everyone that’s tried it can’t go back.
But the same is not true for iPhone. There’s so much friction having to switch keyboards to Wispr every time you want to say something and then switch keyboards back to the Apple one every time I want to edit.
That’s why we built the Blue (YC S25) Smart Dictation Keyboard for iPhone! It gives you a 4x speedup when you can speak and an (almost) Apple-level keyboard when you can’t, completely eliminating the switching friction.
Blue on iPhone is stickier than any product I’ve ever worked on while I was at Google. People don’t use it 3 days a week one time for 2 minutes. They use it 100 times a day. 80% of their typing is dictation. They tell me Blue has changed their life and they can’t see themselves ever going back.
