        "content": "Here\u2019s a clear, step-by-step guide to using **Command Mode (\u201cHey Flow\u201d) in Wispr Flow**\u2014tailored for screen reader users. This feature lets you give voice commands to edit text, ask questions, or otherwise interact \u201chands-free.\u201d\n\n---\n\n## 1. What Is \u201cHey Flow\u201d / Command Mode?  \n- It\u2019s a voice-powered editing tool in Wispr Flow that allows you to speak edit commands\u2014like \u201cmake this more professional,\u201d \u201ctranslate to Spanish,\u201d or \u201crewrite this paragraph.\u201d ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- You **activate** it via keyboard shortcuts, not just by saying \u201cHey Flow\u201d, especially on desktop. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Enable Command Mode / Hey Flow\n\n1. **Check you\u2019re on a paid plan or active free trial**  \n   Command Mode is only available for paid users or during a trial. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Go to Settings \u2192 Experimental \u2192 Toggle on Command Mode**  \n   If you don\u2019t see \u201cExperimental,\u201d your plan might not include this feature. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Using Command Mode (Desktop: Mac & Windows)\n\nOnce enabled, you can issue commands in two main ways:\n\n- **With highlighted text**: Select some text, then trigger Command Mode (using the keyboard shortcut). Speak your command, e.g., \u201csummarize this,\u201d \u201ctranslate into French,\u201d etc. It edits the selected text. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Without highlighted text**: Trigger Command Mode and speak, e.g., \u201cwhat\u2019s the weather today?\u201d or \u201cwrite a heading titled \u2018Project Plan\u2019.\u201d Flow will insert the content where your cursor is. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 4. Shortcuts to Trigger Command Mode\n\n- **Mac**: Press and hold `Fn + Ctrl`  \n- **If there\u2019s no Fn key**: Use `Cmd + Ctrl + Option` ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Windows**: Use `Ctrl + Win` ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n\nYou press the shortcut, speak your command, then release to execute. Press `Esc` anytime during this to cancel. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 5. Saying \u201cHey Flow\u201d\n\n- Saying the phrase \u201cHey Flow\u201d while **regularly dictating** (with Command Mode enabled) *will* still trigger command processing\u2014but you\u2019ll also see a tooltip suggesting that using the keyboard shortcut is faster. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- But \u201cHey Flow\u201d is **not required** to use Command Mode. Shortcuts work independently. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 6. What If You\u2019re on Mobile or iPad?\n\nCommand Mode as described is a **desktop feature (Mac & Windows)**. It\u2019s not fully supported on iOS or Android. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \nOn mobile, you\u2019re more likely to use dictation voice commands (like \u201cmake it formal\u201d) after selecting text, but not via the \u201cHey Flow\u201d hotkey method. ([try.wisprflow.ai](https://try.wisprflow.ai/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 7. Accessibility & Screen Reader Support\n\nWispr Flow supports screen readers like **VoiceOver (Mac), NVDA, JAWS (Windows)**, and **TalkBack (Android)**. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/3941699399-keyboard-and-screen-reader-accessibility-in-wispr-flow?utm_source=openai))\n\nSome key tips:\n\n- All interface elements are actionable via keyboard and properly labeled with ARIA where needed. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/3941699399-keyboard-and-screen-reader-accessibility-in-wispr-flow?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use **Tab** to move between interactive items; **Enter** or **Space** to activate them; **Escape** to close menus. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/3941699399-keyboard-and-screen-reader-accessibility-in-wispr-flow?utm_source=openai))  \n- The program respects \u201creduced motion\u201d system settings to avoid animations/visual distractions that can interfere with screen reader use. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/3941699399-keyboard-and-screen-reader-accessibility-in-wispr-flow?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can walk you through a live example: picking a block of text and issuing a command using VoiceOver or NVDA. Would you prefer that?"

        "content": "You\u2019re right to point out that using **Ctrl + Win** in Wispr Flow for Command Mode could conflict with your system\u2019s existing dictation shortcut or another hotkey. According to the latest Wispr Flow documentation, the default Command Mode shortcut on Windows is **Ctrl + Win + Alt**. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai)) If your issue involves the shorter combo (Ctrl + Win) being used, that\u2019s usually for the default *dictation* or *hands-free* mode\u2014not specifically for Command Mode. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/2612050838-supported-unsupported-keyboard-hotkey-shortcuts?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s how to resolve the conflict and set up a shortcut you\u2019re comfortable with:\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Change the Command Mode Shortcut\n\n1. **Open Wispr Flow**, then go to:  \n   **Settings \u2192 General \u2192 Shortcuts**. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/2612050838-supported-unsupported-keyboard-hotkey-shortcuts?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. Find the \u201cCommand Mode\u201d entry. It may currently show **Ctrl + Win + Alt** (the default). ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. Click on \u201cChange\u201d next to the shortcut. Press the key combo you\u2019d prefer\u2014just make sure it follows Wispr\u2019s rules:  \n   - No more than **3 keys**  \n   - At least one **modifier key** (Ctrl, Win, Alt, Shift)  \n   - Doesn\u2019t mix left and right versions of a modifier like \u201cLeft Ctrl\u201d + \u201cRight Ctrl\u201d ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/2612050838-supported-unsupported-keyboard-hotkey-shortcuts?utm_source=openai))  \n\n4. **Save** or confirm the change. Flow will verify if the combo conflicts with system-reserved shortcuts or other Flow bindings. If there\u2019s a conflict, it\u2019ll prompt you to choose something else. ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/2612050838-supported-unsupported-keyboard-hotkey-shortcuts?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What You Get by Default from Wispr Flow on Windows\n\n- **Command Mode default shortcut**: Ctrl + Win + Alt ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/4816967992-how-to-use-command-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Dictation \u201cpush-to-talk\u201d shortcut**: Ctrl + Win (hold to dictate) ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/6409258247-starting-your-first-dictation?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Hands-free dictation mode**: Ctrl + Win + Space to start; then Ctrl + Win to stop ([docs.wisprflow.ai](https://docs.wisprflow.ai/articles/6391241694-use-flow-hands-free?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nSo yes, the combination **Ctrl + Win** is indeed used\u2014but usually *not* for Command Mode. If you\u2019re finding overlap or interference, changing one of those shortcuts in the Shortcuts settings (especially Command Mode) will help. It should allow you to avoid misfires with system dictation or your preferred tools.\n\nIf you tell me which screen reader you\u2019re using (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, etc.), I can help you pick a shortcut that\u2019s less likely to interfere with your existing commands\u2014and walk you through setting it."
