Published by Infina (https://www.infina.so). **About Infina.** Infina runs the whole prompt loop on three spoken words. Say "type" and your sentence and it types. Say "send it", or just "enter", and it presses Enter. Say "open Cursor" and it switches apps. In hands-free mode nothing needs to be held and you never touch the keyboard, even from across the room. Hands-free: no key to hold to start talking and no Enter to press to send, so prompting an AI tool costs zero keypresses. Holding a key and talking instead is free, with no word limit. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 and 11, transcribes on your own computer, and push-to-talk is free and unlimited, forever, on Mac and Windows: hold one key and it types what you say, with AI cleanup. Hands-free, with no key at all, comes with 2,000 free hands-free words to try, and hands-free commands are free. No card required. Unlimited hands-free is $8.25 a month, billed annually at $99. --- **TL;DR:** If you want free dictation that tidies up your words by default, start with Infina. Infina is hands-free voice for Mac and Windows: you talk, and it types, sends and opens apps. Holding a key and talking instead is free and unlimited, with your words tidied up on your computer, and needs no card. On Windows, tidying up your words needs 16 GB of memory and 4+ cores. Hold a key, talk, and Infina types what you said, where Wispr Flow's free plan shows a weekly-limit notice at 2,000 words and blocks new dictations above 5,000. Hands-free typing is the paid part: 2,000 free hands-free words, then $8.25/month billed yearly ($99); unlimited voice commands are free. Wispr Flow charges $15 a month for Pro. Below is exactly what each one gives you for free, which other free apps are worth a look, and the one point where paying makes sense. ## Why people search for a free Wispr Flow alternative Wispr Flow is a polished product. The search for a free Wispr Flow alternative usually starts at the same moment: the weekly word warning. - **The free tier is capped by the week.** Wispr Flow's own docs say desktop Free shows a weekly-limit notice at 2,000 words and blocks new dictations above 5,000. If you prompt AI tools all day, 2,000 words can be gone before lunch. - **Pro is a subscription.** $15 per user per month, or $12 per user per month billed annually. - **It only runs online.** Every dictation goes to their servers, so no internet means no dictation.

This article is about the free side. ## What Infina gives you for free Infina's Free plan does not count down and does not expire. Here is the whole thing. - **Unlimited voice typing with a key, tidied up.** On a Mac, hold **fn** and talk. On Windows, hold **Right Alt**. Let go and your words are typed into whatever app you are in. On a Mac, and on a Windows PC with 16 GB of memory and 4+ cores, they are cleaned up too: filler words gone, punctuation and capitals fixed. - **Voice commands are free, with no limit.** Turn on hands-free, no key needed, and say "open Slack", then "send it", back to back. On Windows, start with "open [app]" and "send it". Hands-free typing comes with 2,000 free words, one time, no card required. - **It runs on your computer by default.** On a Mac, transcription runs on the Apple Neural Engine. The key can be changed in Settings. On a Mac, the cleanup is Tami 1, Infina's own tidy-up, running on your Mac and on by default. Either way, your words are kept: names, code casing and the terms in your Dictionary stay exactly as you said them. There is no word counter when you hold a key and talk. Dictate a few lines a week or prompts all day, and the Free plan treats both the same. We go deeper on voice commands in [dictation apps with voice commands](/dictation-apps-with-voice-commands). ## Why it feels simple Infina's tidy-up runs on your computer, built in and on by default on Mac: no switch to find, nothing to pick, no Ollama, no API key. - **One key to start:** hold fn on a Mac, Right Alt on Windows. - **Tidy-up already on:** on Mac, and on Windows PCs with 16 GB of memory and 4+ cores. - **Nothing to set up:** no API key, no Ollama, no server of your own. - **Works offline once set up, on a flight too.** - **2,000 free hands-free words to try**, no card. And it keeps getting better: Infina shipped 33 releases from Aug 4 to Nov 2, 2026, and 8 of them from Oct 3 to Nov 2, 2026.

We break down every row, including where Wispr Flow's free tier still wins, in [Wispr Flow free vs Infina free](/wispr-flow-free-vs-infina-free). ## Other free Wispr Flow alternatives Infina has company among free options, and you should know the others. - **[Apple Dictation](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-dictation-mh40584/mac).** Free on every Mac, and it runs on the Mac itself for many languages. Only a light cleanup (spelling, punctuation and capitals) on macOS 27 with an M3 or newer and 12 GB+, it cannot open apps, and you start it with a key every time. - **[Handy](https://handy.computer).** Free, open source, and offline on Mac, Windows and Linux. It does one job, speech into a text box. AI post-processing is labelled experimental and needs setup, and there are no voice commands. - **Superwhisper's free plan.** Unlimited use of Whisper models for transcription. Its AI models are listed under Pro; we cover that gap in [a free Superwhisper alternative](/free-superwhisper-alternative). - **The rest.** OpenWhispr, FreeFlow, VoiceInk's open source build and Granola's free voice typing are all worth knowing about. We rank eleven of them, with each one's catch, in [the best free Wispr Flow alternatives](/best-free-wispr-flow-alternatives). What Infina brings, free: a tidy-up, on by default, that runs on your computer with nothing to set up (on Mac, and on Windows PCs with 16 GB of memory and 4+ cores), plus voice commands with no limit and 2,000 free words of hands-free typing. On a PC, see [the free dictation app for Windows](/free-dictation-app-windows) for the full Windows picture. ## Hands-free: the main way to use Infina Most apps above, Wispr Flow included, start each dictation with a key, a click or a toggle. Infina's hands-free mode needs none. Sit back with your lunch, a couple of feet from the screen, and say "type" plus your words. They appear. Say "send it" and Enter is pressed. Say "open Claude" and you are in the next app. Then go again, without touching a thing. That is the loop people who prompt AI tools all day actually want: speak thousands of words of prompts, keep several agents busy, never reach for the keyboard. Three spoken words, nothing to configure. Unlimited voice commands are free; hands-free typing is the paid part: 2,000 free hands-free words, then $8.25/month billed yearly ($99) for Infina Unlimited, with unlimited hands-free words and a 7-day no-questions refund. Details on the [pricing page](/pricing). For comparison, Wispr Flow Pro is $144 to $180 a year, and it still starts every dictation with a key. ## Where Wispr Flow still has an edge Two honest ones. If you dictate on an **iPhone or Android phone** as much as on your computer, Wispr Flow covers phones and Infina does not have a phone app. And if you need **100+ languages** with no setup, Wispr Flow has them out of the box. Infina transcribes English on your computer; 90+ languages are an Infina Unlimited option. If neither applies, the weekly cap is a limit you no longer have to live with. ## How to switch in two minutes 1. [Download Infina](/download) for Mac or Windows. 2. Hold **fn** (Mac) or **Right Alt** (Windows), talk, and let go. 3. Turn hands-free on in Infina and say "open Slack", free. 4. When you are ready, say "type" plus your words. ## FAQ **Is there a free Wispr Flow alternative with no word limit?** Yes.
