How do I use it?

  • DICTATIONThe dictation layer that turns speech into text.
  • AGENTSThe surface for working with AI agents.

Wispr Flow is a dictation app: in its own words, "Don't type, just speak" — it turns your speech into clean, edited text in any app, and it does that well. Its output is text.

optionOS solves a different problem: when you work with an agent, text alone is not enough. The code you copy while speaking, the screenshot you take, the region you mark and their timing are part of the task. optionOS doesn't just transcribe speech into clean text; it embeds your copy, capture and annotation events into the transcript in order, producing one agent-ready task packet. It also shows Claude Code and Codex sessions running in Ghostty live on the Cockpit panel.

The choice comes down to this: if you want fast, clean dictation into text fields, Wispr Flow does that job. If you are carrying context to an AI agent — "in that file, right there, this is what I want" — optionOS delivers that context with its evidence in one packet.
