Hey HN,<p>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.<p>I wanted a replacement that worked offline, had cross language support, was configurable and worked in any application.<p>Under the hood the app is using whisper.cpp, which runs really well on the Apple Silicon chips.<p>You can use the base and standard size models for free, larger models sizes and languages other than english are paid.<p>Let me know what you think! For context, I launched this just one month ago and have been rapidly adding features and making fixes.<p>If you want to follow along with development, I post release info on twitter (<a href="https://x.com/superwhisperapp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://x.com/superwhisperapp</a>) or you can subscribe to emails via the form on the website (very bottom).
