Wispr Flow CEO Tanay Kothari - voice AI deep dive

Tanay Kothari, co-founder and CEO of Wispr Flow, joins Auren Hoffman to discuss voice-first AI and the evolution of dictation technology. Kothari argues that existing dictation tools fail because they transcribe speech verbatim, unlike Wispr Flow, which aims for a polished, context-aware written output with a zero edit rate of 85%. He highlights the importance of incorporating context, such as sender and recipient information, to improve accuracy, especially with accents. They explore the shift towards voice interfaces, with Kothari noting that Wispr Flow users transition to 80% voice input within four months. The conversation also touches on the future of AI wearables, emphasizing the need for both voice input and visual displays for optimal user experience.
