Whispering in an open office
Loud surroundings? Whispering mode lets you dictate sensitive information from anywhere.
Whispering lets you use Flow in open offices and cafes. But at times, you might be sitting just a foot away from someone else. We were in desperate need of a solution at Flow, since our whole team works from the same room.
So, we built whispering mode, optimized for podium mics (not an affiliate link, just what we use :) You can lean into it and speak quietly, under your breath, so that someone sitting even two feet away can't hear you.
How to set it up:
- Buy the podium microphone here, and set it up at your desk beside your keyboard; to keep the mic close to your mouth. If you have a monitor, plug it in there so you don't have to connect it to your computer every time!
- Select the microphone from the tray.
- Use Flow! We recommend speaking ~1cm away from the mic. It works better the closer you get. As you use it, whisper quieter and quieter until it's indistinguishable from being absolutely silent!
