Wispr lands in the UK

From the beginning, I never wanted Wispr to be a niche productivity tool for early adopters in Silicon Valley.

The ambition was always bigger: to make interacting with your devices as natural as talking to a close friend. To help people replace their keyboards with their voice, and spend less of their lives behind screens. I always felt that mission should transcend age, gender, job title, and location.

And we're increasingly starting to see that play out in the make-up of our user base, more than half of which is now outside the US. One country in particular kept showing up in the data: the UK, now our third-largest market globally.

Monthly active users in the UK have grown 7x in the last six months, and last month alone, UK users dictated over 300 million words using Wispr Flow. That kind of momentum has a way of making decisions for you.

A market that found us

The honest story of this launch isn't one we planned. Wispr didn't sit down one day and decide to conquer the UK market. You came to us.

And now we're making it official. Today we're opening our first dedicated country hub outside the United States, appointing Lauren Ingram as UK Country Manager, and doubling down on a community that didn't wait for an invitation.

To support that community, we've already invested in the foundations: GBP pricing is live, British English is a selectable language, and with Android now available, a country that uses mobile at twice our global average has access to Wispr on the world's most popular mobile operating system.

We're already partnered with one of the UK's leading tech voices: Steven Bartlett, who has invested in Wispr through his venture capital firm, Flight Fund. We’ve also kicked off a year-long collaboration with his podcast, The Diary of a CEO, to spotlight how voice is becoming the next great driver of human productivity.

Recent advances in AI have changed what's possible in voice. The reliability is genuinely different now, and so is the accuracy on accents, dialects, and the natural flow of human speech. That last part matters more than people realize (or realise!). One of the most consistent pieces of feedback from our early users in the UK is that Wispr actually understands them. Not just the words, but the cadence.

Welcoming our UK country manager

Our new Country Manager, Lauren, holds a degree in Linguistics and brings a rare combination of big tech experience and deep community leadership. She previously led enterprise marketing for Amazon Ads in the UK and has worked across Meta and other global technology organisations. She's also the founder of Next Big Thing, a platform helping women navigate AI, receiving an Honorary Doctorate in 2025 for her work in inclusion and leadership in emerging technologies. A TEDx speaker and recognised as one of the top 50 Women in Tech, her work sits at the intersection of marketing, education, and ecosystem building.

When we were thinking about who should lead our UK community, someone who has spent their career studying how humans use language and built a following helping people adapt to new technologies felt like an obvious fit for a company trying to change how the world interfaces with their devices. She'll focus on deepening our presence across the UK's technology and creative ecosystems, and supporting the adoption that's already happening organically. And she's walking into a genuinely interesting moment, not just for Wispr, but for voice as a category.

What we're building for UK users

Voice is no longer confined to early adopters or a single geography. The UK is helping define what comes next. And if the last few months are any indication, you already knew that before we did.

If you're a UK user, thank you. You built this market before we made it official. We're here now, and we're not going anywhere.
