# Wispr Flow Security Basics

## Overview

Guidance for security basics with Wispr Flow voice-to-text API.

## Instructions

### Key Wispr Flow Concepts

- **WebSocket API**: `wss://api.wisprflow.ai/api/v1/ws` (recommended, low latency)
- **REST API**: `POST /api/v1/transcribe` (simpler, higher latency)
- **Auth**: API key (backend) or access token (client-side)
- **Audio format**: 16kHz mono PCM preferred
- **Context awareness**: Understands code, CLI commands, dev jargon
- **Platforms**: Mac, Windows, iOS, browser API

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid key | Check at wisprflow.ai/developers |
| WebSocket closed | Network issue | Reconnect with backoff |
| Poor accuracy | Wrong context | Set context to 'programming' for code |
