Superwhisper

Superwhisper turns speech into formatted text inside any desktop or mobile app, with predefined modes, custom vocabulary, 100+ languages, offline transcription and a meeting assistant. Built for people who write all day and want dictation to produce usable output rather than raw transcripts.

Superwhisper is a voice to text tool built around a single premise: speaking is faster than typing, but raw dictation is rarely usable text. The app captures speech through a keyboard shortcut or a push to talk gesture, then runs it through configurable modes that adjust tone, structure and formatting before the result is pasted into whatever window is active. It works inside Slack, Gmail, a code editor or any other application on the desktop, so there is no separate transcription workspace to manage. The feature set is aimed at people who write for a living or write constantly as part of another job: developers drafting commit messages and documentation, support staff answering tickets, sales teams replying to prospects, and anyone working across languages. Modes are the core idea. A message mode produces short casual phrasing, an email mode produces fuller sentences, and a legal mode keeps the register formal. Vocabulary entries let users register names, abbreviations and domain terms once so the transcription engine stops mangling them. Superwhisper supports more than 100 languages and dialects and can translate them into English. Offline operation separates it from most cloud dictation services. When there is no connection, transcription still runs locally, which matters for travel, secure environments and anyone reluctant to send audio to a server. Online processing is also available, and the product is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, positioning it for regulated workplaces. A meeting assistant records and digests calls automatically, file transcription handles uploaded audio and video, and a Super Mode adapts output to what is on screen. Superwhisper targets macOS and Windows on desktop with iOS and Android builds for mobile, so a single workflow spans devices. Compared with transcript editors that are built around post recording cleanup, it is a typing replacement layered on top of the operating system. Compared with built in OS dictation, it adds modes, custom vocabulary, translation and offline models at the cost of an extra app and a learning curve around shortcut and mode configuration.
