PipesHub integrates with Wispr Flow, a specialist hosted transcription service optimised for professional and enterprise voice input. Wispr Flow's `flow-v1` model is purpose-built for dictation and AI prompt input, with context-aware formatting across multiple output styles.

<Note>
  Wispr Flow requires **ffmpeg** installed on the PipesHub backend host for audio transcoding. Contact [enterprise@wisprflow.ai](mailto:enterprise@wisprflow.ai) to obtain an API key.

## Required Fields

### API Key \*

The API Key is required to authenticate your requests to Wispr Flow's transcription service.

**How to obtain an API Key:**

* Contact Wispr Flow's enterprise team at [enterprise@wisprflow.ai](mailto:enterprise@wisprflow.ai) to request access and obtain your API key

**Security Note:** Your API key should be kept secure and never shared publicly. PipesHub securely stores your API key and uses it only for authenticating requests to Wispr Flow.

### Model

Wispr Flow currently has one available model: **flow-v1**. This is selected automatically — no manual entry is required.

## Optional Fields

### Default Language

Bias transcription toward a specific language to improve accuracy. Leave on **Auto-detect** for multilingual users or when audio language varies.

**Supported languages:**
Auto-detect, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic

### App Type

Controls how Wispr Flow formats the transcribed output. Choose the type that best matches how the transcription will be used.

| App Type                     | Best for                                                                           |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **AI prompt/chat** (default) | Voice input for AI chat or prompt boxes — tuned for natural, prompt-style phrasing |
| **Email**                    | Dictating emails — preserves salutations, sign-offs, and punctuation conventions   |
| **Other**                    | General-purpose transcription                                                      |

### API Endpoint

Override the default Wispr Flow production URL. Leave blank to use the default endpoint (`https://platform-api.wisprflow.ai`).

Only change this if Wispr Flow has provided you with a dedicated or regional endpoint URL.

### Model Friendly Name

A human-readable label for this configuration, shown in the PipesHub UI. Useful if you have multiple STT models configured.

## Configuration Steps

As shown in the image above:

1. Click **Configure** on the Wispr Flow provider card in the STT tab
2. Enter your Wispr Flow API Key in the designated field (marked with \*)
3. (Optional) Select a **Default Language** from the dropdown, or leave on Auto-detect
4. (Optional) Select an **App Type** matching your use case (default: AI prompt/chat)
5. (Optional) Enter an **API Endpoint** if you have a custom endpoint from Wispr Flow
6. (Optional) Set a **Model Friendly Name**
7. Click **Add Model** to save and validate your credentials

> The API Key is the only required field. All other settings are optional and can be adjusted after saving by clicking **Edit** on the configured model.

## Usage Considerations

* ffmpeg must be installed on the machine running the PipesHub backend for audio transcoding to work
* API usage is billed through your Wispr Flow enterprise account — check with your Wispr Flow contact for pricing details
* Selecting the correct App Type improves output formatting significantly for email dictation versus chat/prompt use
* For multilingual teams, leaving Default Language on Auto-detect gives the best results across different speakers

## Troubleshooting

* If the health check fails, verify your API key is correct and active — contact [enterprise@wisprflow.ai](mailto:enterprise@wisprflow.ai) if unsure
* If audio output is silent or transcription fails entirely, confirm ffmpeg is installed on the backend host
* If you are seeing formatting issues in output, try switching the App Type to better match your use case
* Verify the API Endpoint is correct if you have overridden it — an incorrect URL will cause all requests to fail
