About Superwhisper for Mac
Superwhisper is an AI dictation app for Mac that turns your voice into well-formatted text wherever your cursor is. Press a keyboard shortcut, speak naturally, and the text appears in the app you are using — complete with punctuation.
Modes let you shape the result: a casual message, a structured email or plain notes. Local models run directly on your Mac, so you can dictate privately and even offline.
For many people Superwhisper replaces a lot of typing. Speaking is several times faster than typing, and the app makes it practical to draft long messages, documents and notes by voice.
