Superwhisper

Dictate into any app with on-device or cloud AI models

MaciPhoneiPadFree to start

The verdict

Talk into whatever app is open on your Mac, and custom modes reshape your words so a rambling thought comes out as a tidy email or a short message. The free plan already runs local Whisper models offline with no word limit, in more than 100 languages. Pro at $8.49 a month adds cloud models and file transcription, and if you mostly transcribe recordings rather than dictate, MacWhisper's one-time license fits better.
