You think in one language and your colleagues read another. Most dictation tools make you declare which language you are in before every sentence, then hand you a translation you did not ask for. Flit works out what you are speaking in the first seconds and only translates when you tell it to.

“können wir uns äh am freitag um halb elf treffen”
Flit wrote · Mail
Can we meet on Friday at 10:30?
“Halb elf” is half eleven in German, which is 10:30. Meaning, not word-for-word.
Mail 9:41 Passt dir Freitag um halb elf?
Can we meet on Friday at 10:30?
spoken in German
können wir uns äh am freitag um halb elf treffen
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.
Flit detects the language you speak and can write it in another, all on your Mac, so it works in more than 1,600 languages with wifi off.
No integration, no plugin, no waiting for support. Flit types wherever your cursor already is.
Wherever you would normally type: Mail, Slack, a shared document. 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.
Switching language means a trip to settings, every time.
The tool translates when you wanted your own words kept.
Non-English output arrives unpunctuated and unformatted.
Names get respelled differently depending on the language you spoke.
Flit identifies what you are speaking in the first seconds and picks a capable engine per dictation, so a bilingual conversation does not mean a trip to Settings. More than 1,600 languages, 30 of them transcribing as you speak. The widest coverage comes from Meta’s Omnilingual model, so accuracy varies by language.
Set a target language and speak whatever you think in. Off by default: without it, your words are never translated or transliterated, whatever language they are in.
Hesitation sounds, punctuation, and sentence breaks are cleaned up in every language, not only English. If the model ever answers in the wrong language, Flit throws that result away and keeps your own words.
A dictionary term can be set to one language, so a name spelled one way in German does not fight the way you spell it in English.

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. Flit detects the language you speak and can write it in another, all on your Mac, so it works in more than 1,600 languages with wifi off.
30 languages stream live: Parakeet’s 25 European languages, plus Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi and Korean through Voxtral Realtime. Every other language also runs entirely on your Mac, and those dictations arrive after you release the key rather than during.
No. Translation is off by default and needs an explicit target language. There is also a guard that discards any formatting result that came back in a different language than you spoke.
Code-switching works, and detection follows the dominant language of the utterance. For a language your engine cannot handle, Flit re-routes to one that can.
