## What is Superwhisper?

Easily transform voice notes into any format. Go for a walk, think aloud, and have your notes summarized. Or write a long, professional email from a single spoken sentence.
With Superwhisper, you write up to 5x faster using your voice. Accurate transcription, clean punctuation, and AI formatting. All hands-free.

HOW IT WORKS
Hold to record. Release to paste. Your words come out as polished text in whatever app you're using. Emails sound like emails. Slack messages stay casual. Code prompts stay technical. You don't configure any of this. The AI figures it out from the context on your screen.

USE IT FOR
Emails you'd normally spend ten minutes drafting
Meeting notes and voice memos you'll actually reread
Messages in ChatGPT, Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, Notes, or any other app
Long-form writing that starts as a five-minute ramble
Capture in 100+ languages, with optional translation to English

NEW IN 2.0
A shortcut to start dictating anywhere, on demand
Redesigned interface
Switch modes directly from the keyboard
Search your full recording history
Bring your own API keys
Create custom presets that match exactly how you write

CUSTOM MODES
Define a mode once, use it forever. A casual mode for messages, a formal one for client emails, a technical one for code prompts. Each mode formats your speech to match the context so your words land the right way every time.

PRIVACY
Recordings and transcripts stay on your device. Use BYOK mode to route AI processing through providers you already trust.

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-08-27, version 2.21.1*

I find Spokenly better due to ability to use local models for free and better keyboard layout.

### 5/5 — Fast local dictation on iPhone

*2026-08-27, version 2.21*

Super fast local dictation on the iPhone. I appreciate the new models and the changes to the keyboard. Continual changes on the keyboard are what I would expect, and I'm sure that it will get done in time. Time.

### 2/5 — Extremely unstable

*2026-08-20, version 2.20.2*

I wish it worked better. It has a lot of potential coming from the competition, but it's extremely unstable. I can't tell you how many times I talk to myself where it looks like it's working and nothing's actually happening. Whereas I have to force close the app to try to get it working again ... constantly. I'll give it a few weeks to see if the bugs are worked out before bailing. The developers released this prematurely. It's not quite ready for production. I'd call it beta.

### 1/5 — Great concept of currently full of bugs on iOS

*2026-08-20, version 2.20.2*

Great concept in the beginning to work for a day or two but the bugs on iOS especially on WhatsApp and other apps makes this really useless. I hope they’re developers will be able to fix this really soon because the concept is great.

### 5/5 — Essentiel

*2026-08-20*

Usager quotidien sur Mac, j’étais d’abord sceptique de cette version iPhone qui je trouve ergonomiquement bien en deçà. Mais on s’y fait et on l’utilise quand même, peut-être encore plus que sur Mac où l’écriture sur téléphone est quand même beaucoup plus lente, le gain en rapidité est ici très impressionnante. 

Ça serait bien de pouvoir synchroniser le dictionnaire entre le Mac et l’Iphone, des fois on pense avoir corrigé le problème d’un mot mais ce n’était finalement que sur une machine. 

Encore merci, je vous suis activement sur les réseaux sociaux, c’est intéressant de voir comment Superwhisper est construit, et par qui.

### 1/5 — Unreliable app

*2026-08-19, version 2.20.2*

I’ve tried the app many times, even paid for a subscription, but it’s unreliable. Usage stops abruptly, the dictated text is lost, and the transcription is inaccurate. Any feedback to the developer gets censored, and they ban you from forums. Stay away—bad app, bad team.

### 4/5 — Fantastic voice dictstion

*2026-08-18, version 2.20.1*

I love the ability to tweak and customize your voice dictation. The keyboard for iOS has become a lifesaver for me. The only thing I wish is that it wouldn't switch you between the app and the keyboard on first use. It's a minor annoyance, but getting rid of it would make using this app even better.

### 5/5 — Saved

*2026-08-17, version 2.20.1*

I'm injured from overuse of digital devices for both my hobbies and my job. Texting on my iPhone has become unbearable; I have to make a million corrections a day, which ruins my workflow and is injuring my arms even worse. Superwhispers solves this. Thank goodness I don't have to make 10 million corrections. Superwhisper wrote this review, so I don't even have to do one.

### 5/5 — Addicted and will never go back

*2026-08-10, version 2.20*

Hands down the absolute best voice to text I've ever used. It's rare when I find an app/product that I'm in love with and this is DEFINITELY one of them.

Nice work SW team!

### 5/5 — It keeps getting better

*2026-08-08, version 2.19*

I love this app. It's great to have genuinely good voice dictation while also being able to do it on device so I have privacy. The way it works is by copying the dictated text to the clipboard and then pasting it in. So sometimes that quirk creates problems (if you're talking about something that you're about to paste into a message, you're going to get messed up). But overall, I'm happy I have this app. I feel like it's the best option
