Slack would be so much better with a voice

Despite being a popular communication tool for thousands of businesses, Slack still lacks speech-to-text functionality—a missed opportunity, especially considering that the average user spends about 90 minutes per day actively using the platform.

Let’s face it, responding to messages all day isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a good time.

Think of the effort you'd save if you could speak your thoughts and have them instantly appear in Slack, ready to send.

Well, you can do exactly that with Flow.

Hit “send” faster with reliable dictation that get’s it right

Communicate faster with dictation you can trust

Send messages in Slack as fast as you can think. Speak naturally and watch your thoughts transform into clear, concise text that sounds like you. It's reliable dictation that helps you move through your conversations faster.

Smarter dictation that makes working in Slack faster

Typing takes mental effort—structuring sentences, fixing errors, formatting text, writing for clarity, and more. Flow lifts that burden. You don't have to worry about how to say things; you just say them.

Your voice, your style, just like you wanted

Flow adapts to your speaking style and complements the way you communicate. Whether you're coordinating with your team or catching up with colleagues, Flow lets you sound like you—not some robot.
