Where Silu is different
Half the price
$72 a year vs from $144 — and the free tier is a daily allowance, not a weekly one.
It doesn’t rewrite you
Filler goes; your wording, your questions and the order you told a story in stay. A server-side check redoes the draft if it drifts.
Built for bilingual speakers
Code-switching between Chinese and English comes out clean, and ⌥T translates as you speak.
Choose Wispr Flow if…
You need Windows, iPhone or Android, a meeting notetaker, or team admin and compliance certifications. Silu is Mac-only and built for individuals.
