Jompter
A Wispr Flow alternative built for AI coding. Free on your Mac.
Jompter is a free Wispr Flow alternative for Mac, built for AI coding: speech, screenshots and screen recordings become one clean Markdown prompt for your coding agent, transcribed locally, free and unlimited. Wispr Flow is excellent general-purpose dictation; Jompter is for when your words are a prompt.
Free on your Mac · no card · Apple Silicon, macOS Ventura+
Quick answer
Pick Wispr Flow if you want polished cloud dictation in every app on Mac, Windows and iPhone. Pick Jompter if your words mostly go to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex: it transcribes on your Mac, adds screenshots and screen recordings to the same prompt, and dictation is free and unlimited.
What Wispr Flow does well
Wispr Flow is one of the most polished dictation apps around. It works across Mac, Windows and iPhone, cleans up what you say as you go, and types into any text field. If most of your writing is email, docs and chat, it's a strong choice, and it's cloud based, so there's nothing to download.
Where Jompter is different
Jompter is built for the prompt you send a coding agent. Speech runs on your Mac with Whisper, Parakeet or Nemotron, so your voice isn't uploaded and it works offline. Press ⌘⇧S while you talk and the screenshot joins your words; record a bug with Video Prompt and the key frames come along. Your agent reads all of it over MCP.
Same task, both apps
Tell Claude Code about a button that jumps when the page loads.
With Wispr Flow
- 1Take a screenshot with Shift+Command+4.
- 2Dictate the description into Claude Code with Wispr Flow.
- 3Switch back, paste the screenshot with Ctrl+V, and point at it in words.
- 4For a bug that moves, record the screen separately and describe what happened, because the agent can't watch the video.
With Jompter
- 1Hold Right ⌘ and describe the bug.
- 2Press ⌘⇧S mid sentence and box the button. The screenshot lands between your words.
- 3For a bug that moves, record it with Video Prompt. The key frames and your narration join the same prompt.
- 4Paste one line into Claude Code, and it reads the whole prompt over MCP.
How to switch from Wispr Flow
- Download Jompter and sign in with a free account.
- Pick Local in setup and download a speech model once: Whisper, Parakeet or Nemotron.
- Hold Right ⌘ to dictate, or rebind it in Settings. Keep Wispr Flow on its own hotkey if you still want it for other apps.
- Turn on MCP and connect Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, so your agent reads prompts itself.
Dictation gives you words. Coding agents need context.
Prompts, not just text.
Dictation tools stop at words. Jompter bundles your voice, screenshots, annotations, and screen recordings into one AI-ready Markdown prompt for Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT.
Free on your Mac.
Dictation, prompts and the MCP hand-off are free and unlimited on your Mac, with no meter and no card. Screenshots, recordings, boards and Remote are free within limits, and a one-time license removes them, no subscription required.
Context that persists.
Plans keep the running context of a debugging session (the error, the screenshots, what you tried), so a follow-up is one line added, not everything explained again.
Local by default.
Speech models run on-device on Apple Silicon. Your voice and your code never leave your Mac unless you opt into cloud.
Speak the bug. Snap the screen. Paste one prompt.
Your words, the annotated screenshot and the key frames from a recording land in one Markdown prompt, ready for Claude Code, Cursor or ChatGPT.
- Voice, on-device. Whisper, Parakeet and Nemotron transcribe on Apple Silicon, no audio leaves your Mac.
- Screens, redacted. Annotate with pen, arrow, box, text or blur before anything is shared.
- Copied in one click. Markdown and images together, straight into your agent.
