Requests through the REST API are slower than web socket requests. We only recommend using this if web sockets are not available in the environment you will be using.

Connect:

API-key endpoint: https://api.wisprflow.ai/api/v1/dash/api Client endpoint (Recommended): https://api.wisprflow.ai/api/v1/dash/client_api We recommend using the client endpoint with client-side authentication to connect directly to our servers to lower latency.

How to use before_text, after_text, selected_text

You can send before_text, after_text, selected_text in the properties if the text is to be entered in a textbox with the user’s cursor present. This is used to match spacing and punctuation with respect to the surrounding text. For example, if the text in your textbox is Hey |man. where | is the cursor:
  • after_text: "man."
  • before_text: "Hey "
This way, if the transcript is "how's it going", it will return "how's it going " with a space at the end because it needs a space before "man."

Limitations
