Murmur
Murmur and Superwhisper
Superwhisper is a Mac dictation app in the same conversation as Murmur. We describe Murmur and tell you what to verify about Superwhisper.
If you are choosing dictation on a Mac, the questions that matter are where the model runs, where the text goes, and whether you can teach names. Murmur answers those for itself: local model, focused app, dictionary and snippets, history and stats.
Superwhisper is another Mac dictation app. Anything more specific — models, modes, pricing — belongs on their site until we have re-read it. We will not borrow their marketing. The guide How to dictate on a Mac is the cluster for our side of the choice.
