Superwhisper review
A privacy-focused transcription app with offline models, broad language support, and limited exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Superwhisper is an AI dictation and transcription application for macOS, Windows, and iOS. It converts speech into text in any application, records and transcribes meetings, and can process existing audio and video files. The product supports more than 100 languages, optional speaker separation, custom processing modes, and context from selected text or clipboard content. Its free plan suits people who want private dictation and basic meeting transcription, while Pro and Enterprise address broader model access and organizational needs.
The free plan includes voice-to-text in any app, meeting recording and transcription, unlimited Whisper models, and custom prompt control. According to the published plans, Pro costs $8.49 per month and adds unlimited cloud and local AI models, audio and video file transcription, translation to English, bring-your-own AI API keys, and priority support. Enterprise adds SOC 2 Type II certification, centralized billing and authentication, model access control, enterprise-hosted models, and volume discounts. This structure makes the free tier useful for core dictation, while Pro is the clearer fit for users working with files or needing cloud model options.
Superwhisper’s platform and workflow coverage are a notable part of its appeal. It can dictate into other applications and lists integrations with Slack, Cursor, Notion, Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Pi. Local CLI and MCP access extend access to transcription history, while on-device processing supports offline use. The main trade-off is export breadth: the listed formats are JSON and Markdown. Choose Superwhisper for private, cross-platform dictation, meetings, and flexible local processing; choose an alternative if you need broader export options or a dedicated public transcription API.
