Superwhisper is a strong voice-to-text dictation app for Mac and iOS built on local Whisper models, letting you dictate into any app system-wide. Its standout traits are on-device processing (good for privacy and offline use) and customisable modes that can reformat or clean up dictation. Accuracy is excellent for clear English speech.
Limitations: it's Apple-only, so no Windows/Android, and the heavier local models need a capable Mac. There's no real API and it's a single-purpose utility rather than a platform. Multilingual support exists via Whisper but quality varies. Ideal for Mac-centric writers, developers, and anyone wanting private, fast dictation without sending audio to the cloud.
