Superwhisper
Superwhisper is a speech-to-text app for macOS that lets you dictate text into apps, transcribe audio, and work with on-device or cloud-assisted AI tools.
What is Superwhisper?
Superwhisper is a dictation and transcription app for macOS that helps people turn speech into text across everyday work apps. It is designed for users who want faster voice input for writing, messaging, coding, note taking, and other text-heavy workflows. The app supports system-wide voice typing, so you can speak and insert text at the cursor in many different apps instead of working in a single editor. It also offers offline mode with on-device models, multilingual dictation with automatic language detection, and translation between languages. Some features can clean up wording, punctuation, and formatting so dictated text is easier to use right away. Superwhisper is published by SuperUltra, Inc. and is also offered for Windows and iOS.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Superwhisper is legitimate dictation software, and microphone access is consistent with its core purpose. Its offline mode is designed to keep audio on the device, while some features also rely on backend services tied to an account and usage limits. Before using it with sensitive information, review which mode you are using and confirm whether you want local processing only or cloud-backed features.
Recommendation: Keep Superwhisper if you use voice dictation, transcription, or multilingual voice input on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app should mainly affect its own shortcuts, models, and saved settings; check the app’s mode and account features first if you depend on cloud-backed tools.
