The recording window with realtime transcription
Voice dictation that types formatted text into any app on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with offline models
Superwhisper has a free plan. Prices in US dollars as Superwhisper's pricing page showed them on 11 October 2026.
Superwhisper is a voice dictation app for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android that turns speech into formatted text in any app, with local models that work offline. It suits writers, developers and anyone handling sensitive text. The free plan gives unlimited offline dictation; Pro costs $8.49 a month, $84.99 a year or $249.99 once for life. Students, educators and non-profits get 40% off when buying direct.
Press a shortcut, speak, and the edited text is pasted into whatever app is active, from Slack and Gmail to Notion and code editors.
Local voice models such as Whisper, Parakeet and Cohere Transcribe transcribe on your device without Wi-Fi. With a local language model too, nothing leaves your machine.
Built-in modes for messages, email, notes and meetings adjust tone and formatting. Custom modes run your own instructions with a model you choose from GPT, Claude, Llama, Grok, Gemini or Mistral.
Super Mode uses the selected text, the active app and the clipboard as context, so the output fits what is on screen.
Teach it names, abbreviations and specialist terms, and set automatic replacements for words it gets wrong.
Records and summarises meetings, separates speakers on Pro, and transcribes uploaded audio and video files.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and Amp, answering agent questions by voice. A macOS CLI can run as an MCP server over your dictation history.
Dictates in over 100 languages and dialects, and Pro can translate any language into English.

“This is one of those tools that just clicks.”
“They charged me twice in 3 days, both on the same email, but only provided an invoice for one.”
“Superwhisper's privacy policy is over two years out of date, and is silent on some important issues.”
Superwhisper Pro is worth paying for if you want AI clean-up of your dictation, cloud accuracy or file transcription; if you only need plain voice to text, the free plan is already unlimited. It is one of the few dictation apps where the free tier has no word cap.
The free plan runs local Whisper models on your own computer, with custom vocabulary, text replacements and up to two modes without AI processing. Pro unlocks cloud voice models, the Cohere Transcribe and Parakeet local models, AI modes such as Super, Message and Mail that rewrite your words for the context, realtime transcription, speaker separation, system audio recording and file transcription. New users get 3,000 words of Pro to try before deciding. Reviewers on Product Hunt praise how quickly it fits into daily work, while critics mention occasional missed recordings and billing mix-ups.
Superwhisper prices Pro in US dollars: $8.49 a month, $84.99 a year (about $7.08 a month) or a one-off $249.99 lifetime licence. Every plan has the same features, and one licence covers unlimited Macs and Windows PCs plus your iPhone and Android phone.
Buying on superwhisper.com is cheaper than buying inside the iPhone or Android app, because the app stores add their fees. Invoices can carry company details or a VAT number on request to support. Every individual plan has a 30-day refund window from the first purchase, but renewals are not refundable on their own.
Superwhisper suits people who value offline use and control over models; Wispr Flow suits people who want polished text with no setup; VoiceOS suits people who want their voice to carry out tasks as well as type. All three work across apps on Mac and Windows.
Superwhisper also connects to coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, which makes it popular with developers who dictate prompts.
Superwhisper can run with no audio or text leaving your device, which is the strongest privacy option among mainstream dictation apps. Pairing a local voice model with a local language model, or using plain Voice to Text mode, keeps every stage on your machine.
When you choose cloud models, the maker states that it uses third-party AI providers only through API agreements with zero data retention, so your audio and text are not used to train models. Enterprise adds SOC 2 Type II certification, SAML single sign-on, SCIM, model access controls and org-wide retention settings, and the maker offers a DPA or BAA through its trust centre. One Trustpilot reviewer criticised the public privacy policy for being out of date, so organisations should read the current documents before rolling it out.
The cheapest paid route is the annual plan at $84.99, which saves about 17% on monthly billing, and heavy users can avoid subscriptions with the $249.99 lifetime licence. The maker lists 40% off for verified students, educators and non-profits.
