Instead of Superwhisper
Superwhisper alternatives
Superwhisper is suited to people who want speech turned into polished text wherever they can enter text. Its Super Mode adapts formatting to the app on screen, and support for more than 100 languages includes automatic detection and translation. On-device models can process audio offline without sending it off the device. It also identifies speakers, transcribes audio and video files on Pro, and offers tools for transcript search and local MCP workflows. The free tier remains after the 3,000-word Pro feature trial; Pro starts at $8.49 per month.

An alternative may fit better when your work focuses on recordings, captions, or transcription editing rather than dictation across apps. Superwhisper supports Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with macOS 13.3 or later, Windows 10 or later, and iOS 18 or later requirements. When comparing options, weigh language coverage, offline use, timestamps and export formats, playback controls, and whether you need an API, browser extension, or file-handling tools. Pricing also differs, from free plans to annual per-user rates and pay-as-you-go credits.
