🗣️ Today's leaderboard is powered by voice
@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.
For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name
There is also something in it for makers: A winning launch each day will get a year of Wispr Flow for the team, up to 10 seats, so you and your team can let typing take a back seat.
Tired of typing everything and want to to Wispr Flow a try? You can try it for free by downloading it here. It works across Mac, iOS, Android, and Windows.

Love this twist!
Really clever move by @Wispr Flow teaming up with @Product Hunt and turning the whole platform into a live product experience. The real genius isn’t just the feature, it’s the incentive design, instead of preaching about voice interfaces, they’re quietly shifting behavior by rewarding it, which is how habit loops form and real adoption sticks.
From what I can tell, this seems to work only on the desktop version of Product Hunt, not the mobile app, so if you want to give launches an extra boost you’ll need to upvote and comment via the browser instead of the PH mobile app.
I’m curious to see whether today’s launches end up getting more comments than usual. Personally, I’m all for it, it’s fun, and I already use an AI dictation app called @Aqua Voice, so I’m excited to give Wispr Flow a spin too.
Question for you @aaronoleary: The giveaway of @Wispr Flow annual team subscription is for the #1 launch on the leaderboard or all the top 5 Product of the Day?
@aaronoleary @rohanrecommends I really like this take. I’ve been noticing the same shift, when platforms reward behavior instead of explaining it, adoption feels way more natural and sticky.
@aaronoleary @rohanrecommends I’m wondering if the boost in comments is real engagement or just short-term behavior change driven by rewards.
Product Hunt
@rohanrecommends @kimberly_west Hi, Kimberly! Yeah, well, both the upvotes and comments count towards the point system on your launch. So right now, you get a boost on launch day for everyone that uses Wispr Flow to cast an upvote or craft a comment.
@aaronoleary @rohanrecommends From my perspective, this feels like a clever nudge into habit formation rather than just another feature drop.
Product Hunt
@rohanrecommends Hey Rohan, glad you're liking it. It's pretty cool, and we're all pretty excited about it too. Dropping a bunch of comments using voice and upvoting all the products using voice has been a really fun twist. Kind of would love to see it become permanent almost.
Yeah, it's on the desktop version of Product Hunt. When it comes to the giveaway, it's an annual team subscription for one launch per day, and it's up to 10 seats. So yeah, you and a bunch of your team have the chance to let typing take a back seat for up to one year for free. (Dictated by Wispr btw!)
@aaronoleary @rohanrecommends I like your point about “quietly shifting behavior.” I’ve seen that approach work better than aggressive marketing most of the time.

Wow! I wish to have voice it in-app and on mobile browser as well, the main page is so beautiful today 😻
minimalist phone: creating folders
This is great idea!
Something new for me and a sort of fun! Tried upvoting and also commenting with voice. Nice experience. :)

Good news. Good luck, every product, today with the launch.
I really love this workflow. I've been using it for quite a few times, like for a long time now, and yeah, now it's hitting that using just the Control key and not Control+Windows. But yeah, this is a really great thing. I've been able to add quite helpful comments with this addition. Thank you.
Using voice to comment about a voice tool on a platform built for discovering new tools, the meta here is pretty fun. Would love to see this become a permanent feature honestly.
This is a really interesting experiment, but it also makes me wonder what happens if more platforms start doing this.
If every product or marketplace begins nudging users toward voice interactions with incentives, do we end up shifting behavior permanently or does it just become another short-term growth tactic people game for rewards?
Feels like Product Hunt is a perfect place to test this, but curious whether this would still work on platforms where users are less early-adopter and more passive.
Either way, this is a smart way to push actual usage instead of just talking about voice. Would be interesting to see if other products copy this playbook after today.
Just awesome! Althought sometimes a bit long wait until the text appears. I have problems writing when using the PH android app, so this is great and solved that problem for me :D
Although you should solve the problem with the keyboards on Android version. The app gliches on keyboard presses both with swift keyboard and google keyboard...
