Wispr Flow ‘Connection Lost’ Error: How to Fix It (2026)

The wispr flow connection lost fix almost always comes down to one of three culprits: a VPN intercepting Wispr Flow’s audio stream, a firewall blocking port 443, or a DNS issue stopping the app from reaching its servers. In most cases you can test which one is causing it in under two minutes, and the actual fix takes less than five. This guide works through every platform, every error variant, and the one cause that surprises people who swear they have no VPN running at all.

If you’re seeing “Connection lost,” “No internet connection,” or your dictation is starting and then stopping immediately mid-sentence, you’re in the right place. The fixes below are drawn directly from Wispr Flow’s own help center documentation and confirmed against the official status page as of August 2026.

One thing worth saying upfront: most people who land on this page are not dealing with a broken install. The tool is working. Something between your machine and Wispr’s servers is interfering with a very specific type of network traffic, and once you identify what that is, the fix is usually one toggle or one settings change. The frustrating part is finding that one thing, which is what this guide is designed to do quickly.

Why Does Wispr Flow Say “Connection Lost” Even When My Internet Is Working?

This is the question that sends people in circles, and it has a specific technical answer that most help articles skim past. Wispr Flow needs a secure, real-time HTTPS connection on port 443 to stream audio and sync transcripts. Some VPNs and proxies break or delay that connection when they inspect or reroute encrypted traffic.

So your browser loads, YouTube plays, Slack messages send, your other apps are completely fine, but Wispr Flow drops. That’s because most VPNs perform traffic inspection or SSL interception on HTTPS connections, and Wispr Flow’s audio streaming is unusually sensitive to that interference in a way that casual browsing simply is not. A web page loading is forgiving of a 200ms delay. Real-time audio streaming is not. The audio has to move fast, uninterrupted, and unmodified, and anything that slows or inspects it mid-stream causes the connection to drop before transcription can complete.

Antivirus, endpoint protection, or firewall tools can also block microphone access or network calls while they silently scan traffic in the background. This is a separate cause from VPN issues, and it’s common on corporate machines running endpoint security software like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Malwarebytes. The app is running, your microphone is on, the Wispr Flow interface looks normal, but the security layer quietly interrupts the outbound audio stream before it ever reaches Wispr’s servers. You dictate normally, wait for the text to appear, and nothing happens. That blank screen is usually the clue that something upstream is killing the stream rather than Wispr itself failing.

Wispr Flow’s official help center is unusually direct about this: “Flow isn’t compatible with most VPNs. Expect slow performance or connection failures while a VPN is active.” That’s stronger language than most tools use in their documentation. Wispr isn’t hedging with “some VPNs may cause issues.” They’re saying most VPNs will cause issues, and that distinction matters when you’re trying to figure out whether your setup is the problem or whether something else is going on.

The other thing worth understanding early is that this error has nothing to do with which Wispr Flow plan you’re on. The “Connection lost” error hits free Basic users and Pro subscribers identically because all plans run on the same infrastructure. If upgrading seemed like a possible fix, it won’t help here.

The Quick Diagnostic: Find Out What’s Actually Blocking Wispr Flow in 2 Minutes

Before you go deep on individual fixes, run this triage check first. It saves you from spending 20 minutes on the wrong cause entirely.

Open a browser and load a website you haven’t visited recently, something that won’t load from cache. If the page loads normally, your internet connection is not the problem. Wispr Flow is running fine but something specific to its connection path is being blocked. If other apps are also failing to connect, this is a general internet problem and restarting your router or switching from WiFi to ethernet will likely solve it. Wispr Flow cannot do anything in that scenario and the fixes below won’t help until your network is stable.

If your internet is working but Wispr Flow is still showing “Connection lost,” the problem is something specifically intercepting or blocking Wispr’s traffic. Work through these in order:

Turn off your VPN completely. Not just paused, fully disconnected. Open Wispr Flow, dictate a short test phrase, and wait for the text. If the text appears within a few seconds of finishing your phrase, your VPN is confirmed as the cause and the VPN fix section below is your next stop.

If you have no VPN running, think about whether your organization uses a web filtering tool, a secure web gateway, or a corporate proxy. These behave identically to VPNs from Wispr Flow’s perspective. If you’re on a work machine or working from a corporate office network, ask your IT department whether outbound HTTPS traffic on port 443 is being inspected or filtered. Many corporate networks do this by default and IT teams don’t always advertise it to end users.

If you’re on a home network with no VPN and no corporate tools, jump to the DNS section. A surprising number of internet service providers and third-party DNS resolvers block or slow specific domains, and a two-minute DNS switch is often the fastest fix that nobody tries first.

Wispr Flow Connection Lost Fix: Step-by-Step by Platform

Mac: How to Fix “Connection Lost” on Wispr Flow

Step 1: Quit and restart Wispr Flow properly. This sounds obvious, but closing the window is not the same as quitting the app. Right-click the Flow icon in the menu bar and choose Quit, or press Cmd + Q while Flow is active. Then reopen Flow from your Applications folder or Spotlight. A fresh start clears stuck session states that sometimes cause false “Connection lost” errors after waking from sleep or switching networks. A lot of the “it started happening randomly” complaints resolve here, because the app was technically running but its network session had gone stale.

Step 2: Check for updates before anything else. Click the Wispr Flow icon in the menu bar, then select Check for Updates. An outdated version is a surprisingly common trigger for connection errors, especially after Wispr pushes a server-side change that requires a matching client version. If a newer version installs, restart completely before continuing. Don’t test on the update-relaunch alone; a full machine restart ensures the old version’s network state is fully cleared.

Step 3: Disable your VPN. Go to System Settings, then Network, then VPN. Toggle it off. If you use a separate VPN application like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Mullvad, open that app and disconnect from within the app itself, not just from the system settings. Some VPN clients continue routing traffic even when the system-level toggle is off. Reopen Wispr Flow and dictate a test phrase. If it works, the VPN is confirmed.

The reason this is listed before firewall steps is simple math. VPN interference accounts for the majority of “Connection lost” reports in Wispr’s own documentation and the patterns visible across community discussions. Try the most common fix first.

Step 4: Check your proxy settings. Go to System Settings, then Network, then Wi-Fi or Ethernet depending on your connection, then Details, then Proxies. If automatic proxy configuration or any manual proxy entries are turned on, disable them temporarily. Corporate network filters often inject a proxy at the system level without telling end users it’s there. You might have joined a new WiFi network, connected a company VPN previously, or installed some enterprise management software that quietly set this.

Step 5: Check the macOS firewall. Go to System Settings, then Network, then Firewall. If the firewall is turned on, click Options and confirm Wispr Flow is listed as an allowed application. If it isn’t listed, add it manually. This step catches situations where a recent macOS update, a Wispr Flow version update, or a fresh install reset firewall permissions without prompting the user. The pop-up that asks “Allow incoming connections for this app?” sometimes appears at an inconvenient moment and gets dismissed without the user realizing they just blocked the app permanently.

Step 6: Change your DNS. This one is underused. Go to System Settings, then Network, then your active connection, then Details, then DNS. Add 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) as your primary DNS server and move it to the top of the list. Restart Flow and dictate a test phrase. If it works, your previous DNS was filtering or blocking Wispr Flow’s domains. Some ISPs run DNS-level filtering that blocks categories of domains, and some corporate DNS servers block cloud tools by policy without any error message. The DNS change is a 90-second test that eliminates an entire category of cause.

Step 7: Pause antivirus or endpoint security software. Open any antivirus, endpoint protection, or web filtering apps you have running. Most have a temporary pause option in their menu bar or system tray icon. Pause protection for 5 to 10 minutes, then test Wispr Flow immediately. If the connection comes back the moment protection is paused, add Wispr Flow as a trusted and allowed application in that security tool’s exception list. Do not leave protection permanently disabled. This step is just to confirm the cause. Once confirmed, the right fix is an exception rule, not permanent disabling.

Step 8: Set up split tunneling if you must use a VPN. If disconnecting your VPN fixed the problem but you need VPN protection while working, split tunneling is the right long-term solution. Most commercial VPN apps (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Mullvad, ProtonVPN) support split tunneling, which lets you route specific apps outside the VPN tunnel while keeping everything else protected. Add Wispr Flow to the excluded apps list inside your VPN app’s settings. Your Wispr Flow traffic goes directly to Wispr’s servers. Everything else stays inside the tunnel. This is not a security compromise for most users since Wispr’s own HTTPS connection is already encrypted end-to-end.

Windows: How to Fix “Connection Lost” on Wispr Flow

Step 1: Quit Wispr Flow from the system tray. Right-click the Wispr Flow icon in the system tray at the bottom-right of the taskbar. Select Quit. If you don’t see the icon, click the small arrow to expand the hidden icons area. Reopen Flow from the Start menu. Like on Mac, the distinction between closing the window and fully quitting the application matters here because a stale session state can produce persistent “Connection lost” errors without any actual network problem.

Step 2: Check Windows Defender Firewall. Go to Settings, then Privacy and security, then Windows Security, then Firewall and network protection. Click Allow an app through firewall, then Change settings, and confirm Wispr Flow is listed with both Private and Public network access checked. On Windows, the firewall sometimes blocks new app installations silently, especially if the install-time permission prompt appeared during a busy moment and was dismissed without reading it. A lot of Windows users are surprised to find Wispr Flow sitting in the blocked apps list.

Step 3: Check proxy settings through Windows Network settings. Go to Settings, then Network and internet, then Proxy. If Use a proxy server is toggled on, turn it off and test. Enterprise Windows machines often have group policy-enforced proxy settings that you can’t change yourself, in which case the fix requires IT involvement.

Step 4: Check the Chrome extension state if you use it. Click the Wispr Flow extension icon in your Chrome toolbar. If the popup looks stuck, close it, wait a few seconds, and click again. Chrome extensions sometimes lose their connection state after a browser update or a Chrome crash. A simple extension reload, or going to chrome://extensions and toggling Wispr Flow off then on, can restore the connection without any other changes needed.

Step 5: Check Windows Update status and restart fully. A Windows Update running in the background can consume enough network resources or temporarily affect firewall states to cause Wispr Flow connection drops that seem random. Check whether updates are pending or actively installing by going to Settings, then Windows Update. If updates are running, let them finish, restart your machine completely, and retest. This is an easy one to overlook because Windows Update doesn’t always announce itself loudly.

iPhone (iOS): How to Fix “Connection Lost” on Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow on iOS launched in mid-2025, so some of the iOS-specific behaviors are less documented than the desktop versions. A few causes are specific to mobile that do not apply on desktop at all.

Step 1: Check Background App Refresh. iOS has a system-level setting that determines whether apps can maintain connections in the background. Go to Settings, then General, then Background App Refresh. Confirm Wispr Flow is enabled. Without this, iOS will terminate Flow’s connection the moment you switch to another app or let your screen go dark. This catches people who are trying to dictate while glancing at a document in another app, which is a natural use case but one that requires Background App Refresh to be on.

Step 2: Turn off your VPN on iOS. Open Settings, then VPN. Toggle off any active VPN connection. If you use a dedicated VPN app, open it and disconnect from within the app as well. The same HTTPS stream interference that affects desktop applies on iOS, and the behavior is identical: other apps work fine while Wispr Flow drops.

Step 3: Enable Low Data Mode inside the Wispr Flow app itself. This is a setting most people never find because it’s buried inside the app, not in iOS system settings. Open Wispr Flow, go to Settings inside the app, then General, then Low Data Mode, and turn it on. This is a Wispr-specific setting that adjusts the audio stream to prioritize connection reliability over audio quality. On unstable cellular connections or weak WiFi, it can be the difference between a dropped connection and a successful transcription. If you’re using Wispr Flow on the go or in areas with inconsistent signal, try this before anything else on iOS.

Step 4: Force-close and reopen the app. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the app switcher (or double-click the Home button on older devices), swipe up on Wispr Flow to close it completely, then reopen it from your home screen. This is not the same as switching away and back. A full force-close clears the app’s internal session state and often resolves connection drops that started after a network change, like moving from WiFi to cellular.

Step 5: Understand the iOS session length cap. iOS sessions cap at around 5 minutes per dictation session, and desktop sessions cap at around 20 minutes. If you’ve been dictating for exactly 5 minutes and suddenly see “Connection lost,” this is expected behavior built into the app’s design, not a network error. The fix is to break your dictation into shorter segments. This surprises a lot of people who were mid-flow on a long note or memo. Knowing the cap in advance lets you pace your dictation more effectively.

Step 6: Know that your audio is always saved. When a connection drop happens on iOS, Wispr Flow saves the audio locally. Open the History screen inside the Wispr Flow app and you’ll find the failed session available to retry. Once your connection is stable, tap retry and the saved audio goes through transcription. You almost never lose content permanently to a connection drop on iOS, which is the most important thing to remember when it happens mid-dictation.

Android: How to Fix “Connection Lost” on Wispr Flow

Android is the newest Wispr Flow platform, having launched in February 2026, and it comes with a layer of complexity that doesn’t exist on iOS or desktop: aggressive, manufacturer-specific battery management. The vast majority of “Connection lost” complaints from Android users trace back to battery optimization killing Flow’s background connection, not to network issues at all.

Step 1: Check the Flow Bubble state first. On Android, Wispr Flow surfaces as a floating Flow Bubble on your screen. Both a pulsing loader animation on the bubble and a warning triangle icon on the bubble indicate a lost connection, but they mean slightly different things. A pulsing loader means Flow is actively trying to reconnect and the bubble is temporarily not tappable. Wait 15 to 30 seconds. It often resolves on its own without any intervention and returns to its normal tappable state. A warning triangle means reconnection stalled or the accessibility permission was revoked, which requires action on your part.

Step 2: Exclude Wispr Flow from battery optimization and this is the single most important step on Android. On most Android devices, battery optimization aggressively kills background apps to preserve battery life, and Wispr Flow’s background connection to the accessibility service is particularly vulnerable. The standard path on most devices is to go to Settings, then Apps, then Wispr Flow, then Battery, then set it to Unrestricted or No restrictions. But the specific path varies significantly by manufacturer, and some brands have hidden secondary battery management tools that override the standard setting.

Here is what Wispr Flow’s official help center confirms for each major Android brand:

Device Brand	Battery Setting Path
Samsung	Settings, then Battery, check “Sleeping apps” and “Battery usage limits” for Flow
Vivo	Enable Autostart via iManager app, lock Flow in the Recents screen
Realme	Set battery to “Not optimized,” enable Auto Launch and background activity in App settings
OnePlus	Set battery to “Don’t optimize,” enable App Auto-Launch, lock Flow in Recents
Motorola	Set battery to “Don’t optimize,” lock Flow in the Recents screen
Transsion, Tecno, Infinix, itel	Enable Autostart via Security app, set battery to “Don’t optimize”
Google Pixel	No manufacturer-specific step needed, standard exemption works

The locking Flow in the Recents screen step on certain brands is something many people miss. Swipe to the Recents view, find the Wispr Flow card, and tap the lock icon on it. This tells Android’s memory management to treat Flow as a priority app that should not be cleared from background memory.

Step 3: Re-enable accessibility if the permission was revoked. Some Android devices and Android updates revoke accessibility permissions from background apps without asking the user. When this happens, Wispr Flow posts a “Wispr Flow needs attention. Re-enable accessibility for Wispr Flow to keep working” notification in your notification bar. Tap the notification to go directly to the accessibility settings page and re-enable Flow. If the notification isn’t there, open the Wispr Flow app directly and it will prompt you to restore the permission. Accessibility is what gives Flow the ability to inject transcribed text into any app you’re using, and without it the tool simply cannot function even if your internet connection is perfect.

Step 4: Handle failed transcriptions from History. Wispr Flow on Android does not block dictation when the connection is lost. It lets you speak and saves the audio locally. If the connection fails during or after dictation, you’ll see a “Failed to transcribe. Saved in the app” notification. Open the History screen inside Wispr Flow and find the saved entry. Once your connection is restored, tap retry and it processes the saved audio. Locally saved audio is kept for up to 14 days. After 14 days, the audio file is purged but your transcript text remains. Entries that haven’t synced yet are exempt from the purge until they sync.

There is one important caveat about this recovery process. If you have enabled Zero Data Retention in your Wispr Flow privacy settings, audio is never saved locally and the retry option is never available. If you turned on Zero Data Retention for privacy reasons and you hit a connection drop, the audio from that session cannot be recovered. This is the direct and intentional trade-off for enabling that privacy setting. It’s worth knowing this before you enable it, especially if you regularly use Wispr Flow in environments with unstable connections.

Is This a Wispr Flow Server Problem, Not Your Connection?

Sometimes the cause is genuinely on Wispr’s side and not your setup, and checking this before spending time on local fixes saves real frustration.

Wispr Flow has experienced past infrastructure incidents where live transcripts appeared to hang or fail mid-transcription across multiple users simultaneously. In resolved incidents, no recordings, transcripts, summaries, or user data were lost. But during an active incident, none of the local fixes in this article will help because the problem is upstream on Wispr’s servers.

Before spending more than a few minutes diagnosing your setup, spend 30 seconds checking the Wispr Flow status page. The address is statuspage.incident.io/wispr-flow. If there is an active incident banner at the top, sit tight and check back in 30 minutes. If the page shows all systems operational, the issue is on your end and the fixes above apply.

One honest note about status pages in general: they sometimes lag behind actual incidents by 10 to 30 minutes, especially when an incident is still being investigated. If you are seeing errors that started very recently, affecting everything, and you haven’t changed anything on your machine, there is a reasonable chance it’s a server-side issue even if the status page hasn’t caught up yet. Check community channels like Wispr Flow’s Twitter or any active user communities to see if others are reporting the same thing at the same moment.

What Is the “Taking Longer Than Usual” Message and Is It Related?

Yes, it’s a close relative of the “Connection lost” error, and it has a distinct behavior pattern worth understanding separately.

When Wispr Flow accepts your audio but transcription takes longer to return than expected, you’ll see “Taking longer than usual. Your audio is saved in the app.” This message means the connection was not fully dropped but it is severely degraded. The audio was received by Wispr’s servers but the transcription pipeline is slow to respond, usually because of a congested or slow upstream connection rather than a hard block.

Think of it as the early-warning version of “Connection lost.” Your connection is weak enough that real-time streaming is struggling, but not so broken that audio delivery failed entirely. On a fast, stable connection, transcription typically returns within two to three seconds of finishing a phrase. When you’re seeing “Taking longer than usual” repeatedly, you’re looking at a connection that’s borderline for real-time streaming.

The same VPN and DNS fixes that solve “Connection lost” apply here. If text appears after disabling your VPN, your VPN was adding enough latency to push transcription past Wispr’s timeout threshold. If it resolves after a DNS change, your DNS resolver was adding lookup delays. Enabling Low Data Mode inside the iOS app, or checking battery settings on Android, can also reduce the frequency of this message on mobile by reducing the stream’s sensitivity to brief connection fluctuations.

Wispr Flow Pricing in 2026: Does Your Plan Affect the Connection Error?

Connection reliability does not differ by plan. The “Connection lost” error hits free Basic users and paid Pro subscribers on the same infrastructure with the same frequency. Plan level is not a factor here.

But there is a plan-related cause that gets confused with connection errors and is worth separating out clearly. Wispr Flow’s free Basic plan includes 2,000 words per week on Mac and Windows, and 1,000 words per week on iPhone. When you hit that weekly word cap, dictation stops. The app doesn’t always make it obvious that you’ve hit a quota versus a connection error. If Wispr Flow stops transcribing without showing a clear network error message and your connection looks fine, check whether you’ve exhausted your weekly word allowance before you spend any time on network troubleshooting.

Here is the full pricing picture for 2026, confirmed from Wispr’s official site: Basic is free with the 2,000-word weekly desktop cap and 1,000-word weekly mobile cap. Pro is $15 per user per month billed monthly, or $12 per user per month billed annually at $144 per year. Teams is $12 per user per month billed monthly or $10 per user per month billed annually, with a 3-seat minimum. Enterprise is quoted separately. All new accounts start with a 14-day Pro trial with no credit card required.

Wispr Flow requires a live internet connection for all transcription on every plan. There is no offline mode, no local processing option, and no plan tier that unlocks offline capability. This is a fundamental design choice. Every spoken word you dictate is streamed to Wispr’s servers for transcription in real time, which is why network stability matters so much and why anything that degrades that stream causes visible problems.

For comparison with other AI tools that have their own quota and connection dynamics, our guide on how to use Perplexity AI for research without running out of free searches covers similar strategies for managing free tier constraints. And if you’re evaluating Wispr Flow alongside other AI productivity tools and trying to understand where each tool’s free limits become dealbreakers, our Fathom AI free plan limit explainer covers the same “you hit a wall and didn’t know it was coming” dynamic in detail.

What If Nothing on This List Fixed It? When to Contact Wispr Support

If you’ve worked through every step above and Wispr Flow is still showing “Connection lost,” the next move is a support ticket with specific diagnostic information rather than a vague “it’s broken” message.

On Mac and Windows, Wispr Flow attaches diagnostic logs automatically when you submit a “Report an issue” ticket through the app. This is important because those logs contain exactly the network state, error codes, and timing information that Wispr’s support team needs. To access this, click the Wispr Flow icon in your menu bar or system tray, select Report an issue, describe the problem, and submit. The logs go with it.

When you write the ticket, be specific. Include your operating system and version, the exact error message you’re seeing word for word, whether you have a VPN or corporate security tools, when the problem started relative to any changes you made (updates, new software, network changes), and whether any of the steps above partially helped or changed the behavior. A ticket that says “transcription stopped working after I updated to macOS 15.3 and I’m on a company network with CrowdStrike installed” gets resolved much faster than one that says “app not working.”

For users on corporate or enterprise networks with deny-by-default firewalls, the published documentation does not include the full list of domains and IP ranges that need to be whitelisted. Contact Wispr support directly for the current allowlist, because this changes as their infrastructure evolves and a list from six months ago may be incomplete. Enterprise IT departments who need a formal allowlist for their firewall rules should go through Wispr’s support channel rather than relying on any third-party source, including this article.

For broader strategies on using AI tools reliably on slow or unstable connections, our piece on how to use ChatGPT on a slow internet connection without it timing out has meaningful overlap with the connection stability principles that apply here. And if you’re troubleshooting other AI tools alongside Wispr Flow, our Claude AI usage limit guide and our Copilot not showing in Word fix cover the same pattern of AI tools misbehaving when network or permission conditions are not exactly right.

One Scenario Nobody Talks About: The Work Network Trap

This deserves its own section because it catches people who have done everything right and still cannot figure out what’s blocking Wispr Flow.

If you work in an office, use a company laptop, connect through a corporate VPN, or work from a coffee shop that uses a filtered network, there is a high probability that your network is performing what’s called SSL inspection or HTTPS deep packet inspection. This is where a security appliance sits between your machine and the internet, unwraps every HTTPS connection to scan the contents, then rewraps it. The traffic looks normal to your browser because browsers are designed to trust the corporate certificate authority. But Wispr Flow’s audio streaming uses a specific connection pattern that can be disrupted by the delay and repackaging involved in that inspection.

The symptoms here are subtle and infuriating: sometimes Wispr Flow works, sometimes it doesn’t, and there’s no obvious correlation to anything you’re doing. That intermittent behavior is the hallmark of SSL inspection, because the inspection engine is sometimes fast enough and sometimes not, depending on server load. Turning off your VPN doesn’t help because the SSL inspection is happening at the network gateway, not on your machine.

The fix for this is not something you can do yourself on a corporate machine. You need to contact your IT department and ask them to exclude Wispr Flow’s domains from SSL inspection, which is a standard request they’ll understand. Some corporate policies won’t allow it, in which case using Wispr Flow on your personal mobile device connected to cellular data, completely separate from the corporate network, is the practical workaround. Cellular data bypasses corporate network controls entirely and is often where people first confirm that the issue is the office network rather than the tool itself.

If Wispr Flow works perfectly on your phone’s cellular data but fails consistently on your work laptop, you have confirmed the corporate network as the cause. Take that finding to your IT team.

Summary: The Wispr Flow Connection Lost Fix in Plain Terms

The wispr flow connection lost fix follows a predictable sequence that works on every platform: confirm your internet is up, then check for an active VPN, then check your firewall or security tools, then try a DNS change, then check battery optimization on Android. Nine times out of ten, the culprit is one of those things and the fix takes minutes once you know where to look.

The most important concept to carry from this article is that Wispr Flow is a cloud-only tool that requires a clean, uninspected HTTPS stream on port 443. Anything that sits between your app and the internet and interferes with that stream will break the connection, even silently, even when everything else on your network appears to work fine. VPNs, corporate proxies, aggressive antivirus tools, and DNS filtering are all on that list of silent breakers.

The other thing to hold onto is the audio recovery safety net. Whether you’re on Mac, Windows, iPhone, or Android, Wispr Flow stores your recorded audio in the History screen when a connection drop occurs mid-dictation. You can retry the transcription once your connection is restored. You rarely lose content permanently to a network drop, which matters most when it happens during a long memo, an important interview note, or a detailed voice message you were building out carefully.

Build the habit of checking History first whenever you see a failed transcription. It takes five seconds and saves the frustration of re-recording something you already said once. The content is almost always there waiting.
