Frequently Asked Questions
Is Superwhisper free?
Superwhisper has a free tier that includes voice-to-text in any app, meeting transcription, 100+ languages, and unlimited use of its smaller local AI models. Pro unlocks unlimited use of larger local and cloud models, file transcription, translation, and priority support, and is billed monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.
Does Superwhisper work offline?
Yes, by default. Superwhisper's local AI models run entirely on-device, so your audio doesn't need to leave your Mac. Pro users can optionally enable cloud models for extra accuracy or use their own API keys, so it's worth checking which mode is active if offline processing matters to you.
How accurate is Superwhisper?
Accuracy depends on the model you choose and your audio quality. Local models are fast and private, while the cloud/larger models (Pro) trade a bit of speed for improved accuracy, especially with accents, technical vocabulary, and longer sentences.
What audio formats does Superwhisper support?
Superwhisper primarily works through live dictation via your microphone in any app. Pro also adds support for dropping in audio and video files to generate transcripts, such as meeting recordings, interviews, and voice memos.
Is Superwhisper available on the Mac App Store?
No. Superwhisper is distributed from its official website (superwhisper.com), with a single license covering the macOS, Windows, and iOS versions.
