Superwhisper

Superwhisper turns spoken words into text in the app you're using. It suits people who prefer dictating messages, documents or requests to coding assistants over typing them.

• Writing modes: Presets and custom modes shape tone, structure and formatting, while Super Mode uses screen context to adapt the output.
• Dictation across apps: The app inserts edited transcripts into places you can type, including Slack, Gmail and Notion, and supports voice input to Cursor, Claude Code and Codex.
• Vocabulary and languages: You can save names, abbreviations and specialist terms, dictate in multiple languages and dialects, and translate speech into English.
• Meetings and recordings: Superwhisper records meetings with automatic notes and transcribes existing audio and video files.

The app runs on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, with free and paid access. Speech recognition can work offline using local models, including Whisper, or use cloud processing. Its writing modes offer model choices such as GPT, Claude and Llama; choosing a cloud model sends that processing to an external service.

Hardware affects local model performance. Offline models run best on Apple Silicon Macs, while Intel Macs are better suited to cloud models.
