Dettivo

§ Migrate from Wispr Flow

Migrating from Wispr Flow

Reproduce your Wispr Flow workflow in Dettivo with three settings: bind Push-to-Talk to the chord you already use, enable the dictionary for your project names, and (optionally) enable Enhanced mode with the bundled local model. No subscription, no cloud round-trip.

Who this is for

Existing Wispr Flow users on Mac evaluating Dettivo, or moving over because of subscription cost, privacy posture, or the lack of a developer surface.

What maps cleanly

Push-to-Talk + Toggle dictation are the same concept. Polish output (Wispr's default cleanup) maps to Dettivo Polish mode. Direct insertion into the focused app is the same. App-aware polish profiles exist in both.

What is different

Local by default

Dettivo runs WhisperKit + MLX locally. Wispr is cloud-based by default.

One-time license

Dettivo is a one-time $45 license for three Macs. No subscription.

Developer surface

CLI, REST, MCP all bundled. Wispr does not have a comparable surface.

Meeting capture included

Dettivo does meetings; Wispr is dictation-only.

  1. 01

    Install Dettivo

    Drag into Applications and activate your license.

  2. 02

    Bind your familiar Push-to-Talk chord

    Settings › Hotkeys → Push-to-Talk. Use the same chord you had in Wispr.

  3. 03

    Import your custom vocabulary

    Settings › Dictionary → Import selected terms. Paste in your project names and proper nouns.

  4. 04

    Pick a default mode

    Polish is the closest match to Wispr Flow's default cleanup behavior.

  5. 05

    Optional: enable Enhanced + app context

    Per-app profiles get sharper rewrites; off by default to match Wispr-like simplicity.
