SmpliflowComparison

A Modern Dragon NaturallySpeaking Alternative

Dragon set the standard for professional dictation software for decades, built around voice-profile training and a large vocabulary engine. Smpliflow takes a different approach: an AI cleanup pass instead of voice training, and a flat monthly rate instead of a perpetual license or per-seat subscription.

What to actually check when comparing

Do I need to train it on my voice first?

No. Smpliflow works from the first time you use it. There's no voice-profile setup or reading training passages before it becomes accurate.

What does it actually cost?

Starter is $8.49/mo and Pro is $9.99/mo, both under the current Founders Circle rate with a 14-day free trial. Professional dictation software has historically meant either an expensive perpetual license or a per-seat subscription; Smpliflow is a flat monthly rate either way.

Does it clean up how I actually talk?

Yes. A Llama-3-70b cleanup pass resolves filler words and self-corrections ("no, actually say X") in real time, on top of Deepgram Nova transcription, so what lands in your document is the sentence you meant to say, not a verbatim transcript.

Does it work the same way in every app?

Press Ctrl+Space anywhere and Smpliflow injects text directly at your cursor: Slack, Notion, VS Code, Gmail, Discord, or any other Windows app, and adjusts formatting depending on where you're dictating.

What happens to my audio?

It's sent over an encrypted connection, processed in memory, and never written to disk or a database. See the full breakdown in our privacy policy.
