About Superwhisper
Superwhisper is a macOS dictation app powered by OpenAI Whisper that transcribes speech to text offline, in 100+ languages, at roughly 3x the speed of typing, injecting text directly into any active app via a global hotkey. It offers four AI model tiers (Nano through Ultra) for progressively higher accuracy, supports batch transcription of existing audio and video files, and allows custom prompts to control output formatting and style. The free tier covers up to 15 minutes of recording with smaller models; Pro unlocks unlimited use of the larger, near-perfect-accuracy Ultra model for $8.49/month or $84.99/year.
