The vendor is part of a wave of native-AI startups that are attracting strong funding.

U.S. startup Wispr has completed a $280 million funding round at a $2 billion valuation as interest in its AI-powered dictation platform continues to grow rapidly.

The San Francisco-based vendor confirmed the Series B investment in a post on its website on Monday. It follows a $30 million Series A round last May.

The company’s core product is the dictation app Wispr Flow, which enables users to interact with mobile and desktop environments using speech rather than text. What makes Wispr Flow stand out, though, compared to similar tools, is its popularity.
