Kama Type and Wispr Flow: the difference
Same idea of voice dictation, a different take on pricing and privacy.
Kama Type and Wispr Flow solve the same problem — turning speech into finished text in the field you're typing in. Wispr Flow runs on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android on a subscription starting at $12 a month. Kama Type runs on Windows and Android, costs nothing, runs on your own Groq key on its free tier, and has no account.
Wispr Flow figures come from its own pricing page, checked 27 July 2026. Pricing and features may have changed — the primary sources are linked under the table.
The table is wider than the screen — scroll it sideways for the Wispr Flow column.
| Feature | Kama Type | Wispr Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Windows, Android | macOS, Windows, iOS, Android |
| macOS and iOS | No | Yes |
| English accuracy | Groq whisper-large-v3-turbo — a general-purpose model, not tuned for English | Proprietary model tuned for English |
| Product maturity | Personal tool, early stage | Team, years of development, support |
| Russian language | Primary, with LLM cleanup tuned for Russian | Supported, not the priority |
| Android keyboard | IME with a floating button over any app — built, but not published yet | Launched 2026-02-23, weaker than on Apple |
| Price | Free; runs on your own Groq key, and the free tier goes a long way | Pro $15/mo ($180/yr); $12/mo billed annually ($144/yr) |
| Account | Not required | Required |
| Where the key and data live | Key stays on device, audio goes straight to Groq | Routed through the product's server |
| Russian accuracy | Groq whisper-large-v3-turbo — cheap, but not the strongest option: an open benchmark (Habr, February 2026; 20 clips in mixed languages) puts it at 0.45 WER — seventh of twelve, against 0.39 for the best result. That benchmark's Russian-only table does not cover Groq; there Nexara came out most accurate. We have no measurement of our own | Also cloud-based |
