Hey HN,

I built superwhisper out of frustration with the native dictation capabilities of macOS. Inaccurate, required manual punctuation, didnt activate in some contexts or would have audio capture issues.

I wanted a replacement that worked offline, had cross language support, was configurable and worked in any application.

Under the hood the app is using whisper.cpp, which runs really well on the Apple Silicon chips.

You can use the base and standard size models for free, larger models sizes and languages other than english are paid.

Let me know what you think! For context, I launched this just one month ago and have been rapidly adding features and making fixes.

If you want to follow along with development, I post release info on twitter (https://x.com/superwhisperapp) or you can subscribe to emails via the form on the website (very bottom).
