OpenSuperWhisper is a macOS dictation application that records audio and transcribes it locally using Whisper or Parakeet models. It supports global keyboard shortcuts, mouse button triggers, hold-to-record mode, and drag-and-drop file transcription.
Use cases
- dictate text anywhere on macOS with a keyboard shortcut
- transcribe voice notes locally without cloud services
- convert audio files to text by dragging them into the app
- bind a mouse button to start and stop voice recording
- transcribe speech in multiple languages with auto-detection
When to choose
- you want private, on-device speech-to-text on an Apple Silicon Mac
- you need system-wide dictation with customizable hotkeys
- you want a free open-source alternative to commercial dictation tools
When to avoid
- you need Windows or Linux support
- you have an Intel Mac (Apple Silicon only)
- you need streaming real-time transcription
