Using raunen with Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow is a voice dictation app for macOS and Windows. raunen has no built-in voice input, so Wispr Flow is simply a fast way to type your prompts โ€” the dictated text lands in raunen's normal input box.

How it fits together

raunen's prompt box is an ordinary text input. Wispr Flow does not talk to raunen at all; it sits at the OS level and types what you say wherever the cursor is. So when raunen is focused, your spoken words appear in its input exactly as if you had typed them โ€” and raunen does nothing special to make that happen.

Getting started

  • Install Wispr Flow and grant it microphone and accessibility access.
  • Launch raunen in a project (install if you have not yet).
  • Click into raunen's prompt box, then start speaking โ€” the dictated text shows up as you talk. Press Enter to send it like any other prompt.

It also works in one-shot mode. Start dictation and speak raunen 'fix the failing test in auth.go' into a shell, and the quoted text is what Wispr Flow types โ€” useful for a hands-off kickoff.

Tips

  • Dictating code. Wispr Flow handles code reasonably well; speak punctuation and it will type it. For anything fiddly, say the words and fix the symbols in the editor afterwards.
  • Auto-insert and paste. Use Wispr Flow's usual auto-insert / paste behaviour to drop longer passages into the input without holding the mic open.
  • Both interfaces. The interactive TUI and one-shot raunen '...' mode both take typed text, so dictation works the same in either.

A small caveat

This is an unofficial integration โ€” a community tip, not a feature. raunen itself has no awareness of Wispr Flow; the combination is just two tools doing their own jobs next to each other.
