Getting started
- Install the Mac or Windows app and select a speech recognition model.
- Put the cursor in the target field, start dictation with the shortcut, and speak.
- Stop, check the text, and select a suitable mode separately if rewriting is needed.
Decision points
- If audio must stay on the device, verify both the speech model and any text model are local.
- For context-aware editing, check whether the chosen language model uses the device or cloud.
Limits
- Selecting local speech recognition alone does not keep text local if a cloud language model is enabled.
- Models and Pro access differ; confirm your chosen workflow works offline in its settings.
Frequently asked questions
Is Superwhisper always offline?
No. Local models can work offline; cloud speech or language models need a connection.
Is the online tool on its website the desktop app?
No. The browser demo is separate; this entry covers Mac and Windows desktop dictation.
