Documentation eats the hour after clinic. Flit lets you say the note into the field you are already in, and it is transcribed and formatted on your Mac, so patient details never pass through a dictation vendor.

Wispr Flow sends your voice to its servers. Flit transcribes and formats on your Mac, and keeps working with no internet.
Wispr Flow is a monthly subscription. Flit is one payment, and it is yours to keep. No account either.
Chart notes carry protected health information. Flit processes them on your Mac, so there is no dictation vendor holding them and no agreement to sign for one.
No integration, no plugin, no waiting for support. Flit types wherever your cursor already is.
Wherever you would normally type: your EHR in the browser, a referral letter, a patient message. Flit has no window of its own to switch to.
Speak normally, fillers and all. A small bar shows the words arriving as you say them, so you can see it working.
Finished text appears at your cursor about 0.7 seconds later, punctuated and formatted. No copying, no cleanup, no second window.
Prefer not to hold a key? Tap once to lock it on, or arm hands-free mode and Flit starts when you speak. Escape cancels any dictation.
Charting spills into the evening, and gets written from memory.
Cloud dictation sends patient detail to one more vendor to vet.
Medical dictation is billed per seat, every month, for every clinician.
Drug names and abbreviations come out misspelled and need fixing by hand.
Flit types into the focused field of any app, so it works in browser-based EHRs, practice software, referral templates and patient messages. There is nothing to install on the EHR side and nothing to integrate.
Add medications, eponyms and the abbreviations you use to your personal dictionary. They come out right the first time, and the dictionary never leaves the Mac either.
Flit fixes capitals, punctuation and spoken numbers. It does not condense your note, reorder findings, or decide what mattered. What you said is what goes in the chart.
Transcription and formatting run on your Mac, so dictation keeps working in an exam room with poor wifi, and an outage anywhere else never stops a note.

Do not take our word for it
Dictate a chart note with wifi off. It works, because nothing was ever going to be sent. That is a claim you can disprove in a minute, which is more than a compliance badge offers.

Yes. Flit does the same job as Wispr Flow, but it runs on your Mac instead of a server and is paid once instead of every month. Chart notes carry protected health information. Flit processes them on your Mac, so there is no dictation vendor holding them and no agreement to sign for one.
Flit types into whatever text field has focus, so it works in browser-based EHRs and any Mac app with a cursor. We have not confirmed it inside Citrix or other remote desktop sessions, so test those in the 7-day trial before relying on them.
Compliance is a property of your practice, not of a text field, so the honest answer is what the software does. Flit makes no network request to dictate: no audio, no text and no patient information is transmitted to us or anyone else, because there is no third party in the path to receive it. Whether that satisfies your obligations is a question for your own compliance advice. We do not certify Flit against any standard.
No. Flit is live dictation, not an ambient scribe. You hold a key, speak, and text appears where your cursor is. It never records the visit, so there is no audio of a patient sitting on your disk.
Yes. Team licenses are per Mac, from 5 Macs, and bought once rather than billed every month per clinician.
