Superwhisper

Superwhisper is an AI dictation app for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that turns speech into text in the app you're using. It's for people who prefer speaking to typing, including developers dictating requests to coding assistants. Speech recognition can run locally and offline, or use cloud models for remote processing.

Its writing modes control how spoken words become finished text. Presets cover messages and emails, while custom modes let you specify tone, structure and formatting for particular tasks. Super Mode uses screen context to adapt the output. You can choose language models such as GPT, Claude or Llama, and use Whisper for speech recognition.

Superwhisper remembers names, abbreviations and specialist vocabulary, so recurring terms don't need repeated correction. It supports multiple languages and dialects, with translation into English. The app pastes the edited transcript into the current application, including Slack, Gmail and Notion.

For developers, it provides voice input to Cursor, Claude Code, Open Code, Amp and Codex. You can speak a detailed request into the coding tool you already use. It also records meetings and produces automatic notes, and transcribes existing audio and video files.

Local model performance depends on your hardware. Apple Silicon Macs are better suited to offline models; Intel Macs work best with cloud models.
