Lowest error rate on real dictation. Ahead of Google, OpenAI

Speech models love clean lab audio. Your real prompts don't sound like that. So Wispr Flow tested its in-house speech model, Canto, on 10 hours of real dictations from 2,300+ speakers.

The result: the lowest word error rate of every model tested, including models from Google, OpenAI, AssemblyAI and Deepgram. It also tied for the lowest error rate on LibriSpeech, a standard public benchmark.

For you, that means fewer fixes and longer, richer prompts. Speak your context, constraints and examples into ChatGPT or Claude, and Wispr Flow turns it into clean text in any app. Works on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.

AI AT WORK
Work Smarter. Get More Done.
⏱ 5–6 min read

Your manager asks, “What happened with sales last month?” You have the data: 2,000 rows, twelve columns, three tabs.

What you don’t have is two hours to build pivot tables. Today’s upgrade turns any spreadsheet into a clear one-page answer, with numbers you can check.

⚡ THE WORK UPGRADE

📊 Ask your spreadsheet what changed. Get a one-page answer you can trust.

The problem

Most data at work sits in spreadsheets nobody has time to analyze. You scroll, filter, build a chart, then lose track of what you were looking for.

So decisions get made on gut feeling, or the report arrives a week late.

The better way

The AI built into your spreadsheet can now do the first pass for you. Copilot in Excel and Gemini in Google Sheets let you use prompts in your own words to analyze data, generate formulas, create visualizations, and make changes to your spreadsheet. zapier

The trick is how you ask. Don’t ask for “insights.” Ask three specific questions, and make the AI show its calculations.

Before vs. after

Example: monthly sales by product and region.

• Before: you build three pivot tables, make a chart, and still aren’t sure why the West region dropped.

• After: you ask what changed, what drove it, and what looks unusual. You get a short summary, the formulas behind each number, and one flagged outlier to check.

How to apply it

1. Prepare one clean table. One header row, one row per record, a clear date column. Remove names, emails and other personal data.

2. Ask three questions, in this order:

   • What changed most compared to the previous period?

   • What is driving that change?

   • What looks unusual or worth checking?

3. Make it show its work. Ask for the formula or calculation behind every number it reports.

4. Spot-check three numbers yourself before you share anything.

The catch

AI can pick the wrong column, miss rows, or describe a number that doesn’t exist. Microsoft now has Copilot highlight the data range it picked, so you can catch a wrong guess before it writes a formula against the wrong data.

Your safeguard: never share a number you haven’t traced back to a formula or a cell.

📋 STEAL THIS PROMPT

ROLE
You are a careful business analyst. You explain data clearly
to busy managers.

OBJECTIVE
Analyze the attached table and write a one-page summary of what
changed and why.

INPUTS
Data: [ATTACH OR SELECT THE TABLE]
Period to compare: [e.g. October vs. September]
What I care about most: [e.g. revenue by region]

RULES

• Calculate every number with a formula or code. Never estimate.

• Show the formula or calculation next to each number.

• Tell me which columns and rows you used.

• If data is missing or unclear, say so. Do not guess.

• Short sentences. No jargon.

OUTPUT FORMAT

1. Headline: the single most important change (one sentence)

2. Top 3 changes, each with the number and its calculation

3. What is driving them (only if the data shows it)

4. One thing that looks unusual and should be checked

5. One suggested chart

6. Questions I should ask before deciding anything

Use it for: monthly sales reviews, budget checks, survey results, or any export you need to explain quickly.

Expected output: a summary that fits on one screen, where every number has a formula you can check and every gap is named instead of guessed.
