    About

    In practice. What you can do with Superwhisper.

    Superwhisper transcribes your voice into text in any macOS application: email, Slack, code editor, browser. The difference from classic dictation tools: customizable modes that auto-reformat based on context (formal email, slack message, code comment).

    At $8.49/mo (Pro), you get access to all AI models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini), real-time translation and audio file transcription. Offline, the local Whisper model runs directly on your Mac without sending your data.

    Practical use case for a freelancer: dictate emails from anywhere, auto-transcribe client calls, compose LinkedIn posts by voice in 2 minutes.

    Practical uses

    • Dictate a Slack message without typing.
    • Quickly transcribe a Zoom meeting.
    • Take voice notes in a client meeting.
