Dictation app
WhisperPal vs Superwhisper
Superwhisper is a polished voice-to-text app built around dictation, with offline models and customisable modes. WhisperPal includes dictation too, but is built around the meetings you record, the people in them and what your AI can do with the transcripts.
- Meeting capture that starts when Zoom, Teams, Feishu or a browser call begins — no bot joins.
- Speaker recognition that remembers people across meetings, kept entirely on your Mac.
- A local MCP server and CLI so Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT can search every meeting.
- Qwen3-ASR models tuned for Mandarin and Chinese dialects.
When to choose
Choose WhisperPal if
- You spend a lot of time in meetings.
- You want speakers, summaries and dictation in one app.
- You want your AI tools to read your meetings.
Choose Superwhisper if
- Dictation is the main thing you need.
- You want native apps on your phone as well.
