Can your team stop correcting the same names in AI dictation?
If everyone dictates the same product names, they shouldn't each have to teach the app how to spell them. Wispr Flow's existing dictionary guide describes shared team entries, plus corrections for words it repeatedly gets wrong. Personal entries take precedence over matching team entries. Sharing depends on team access; this isn't a feature available to every account. For a team already using Flow, I'd collect a short list of ordinary product names and specialist terms people keep fixing, then add those to the shared dictionary. Have two coworkers try a few sentences in the apps where they actually write. If one still gets the old spelling, check their personal entry and shared-library sync before asking them to repeat the setup. That's a small improvement I'd try, not a result I've measured or a reason to buy seats for people who prefer typing. One person's correction becoming useful to the next person would be a worthwhile win on its own. Which words does your team keep correcting?

Try fixing a wrong entry on the device the teammate actually uses, too. Flow's guide says Android applies replacement rules synced from other devices, but creating those rules requires desktop or iOS; editing the word on Android leaves its replacement unchanged. Someone could fix the spelling on their phone and reasonably expect the correction to change with it. I'd want that edit screen to explain what stayed unchanged and where to change it. That's a design suggestion, not a screen I've tested. A shared dictionary saves less frustration if the next wrong name sends someone hunting for a different device.
I'd include sentences where the ordinary word is correct, too. Suppose a product is called ‘Flour’ and dictation keeps writing ‘flower’. Try both ‘Open Flour’ and ‘Send the customer a flower’ before sharing a correction with everyone. Flow's guide distinguishes helping recognition from replacing one spelling with another; I'd want to check that fixing the product name doesn't create edits in unrelated messages. Keep the same short set of sentences from before the change and compare corrections afterward, including any new ones. That's a check I'd add to the trial, not a bug I've observed. A shared dictionary earns its place when coworkers have less text to repair overall, not just when the product demo sentence comes out right.
I'd check who can change the shared spellings before treating them as an approved team list. Wispr's general dictionary FAQ says admins create shared entries; its more detailed desktop guide says any qualifying member, not just admins, can edit and delete them. The pages don't give quite the same impression of who maintains the list. Before adding customer-facing product names, I'd ask two ordinary members to check the available controls and agree who handles corrections. That's a permissions check suggested by the documentation, not something I've tested. A shared fix should spare colleagues the same typo, not leave them wondering why yesterday's correct spelling changed.
