If you need results that adapt to your screen, Superwhisper describes a Super Mode for that ^[1].

What Superwhisper and Wispr Flow are built for

Superwhisper. Its Super Mode adapts to your screen for smart results ^[1]. You can set formatting rules, structure preferences and specialized prompts ^[1].

Wispr Flow. Its page says you can create, code, message and write with it, and it compares its speed to a keyboard at 4x ^[2]. It removes filler words, adds punctuation and formats your writing ^[2]. It detects and transcribes 100+ languages ^[2]. It learns your words and names, or lets you add them ^[2]. You can set a different style for messages, work chats and emails ^[2]. It lets you expand saved snippets by speaking a shortcut ^[2].

What QuickDictate is built for

QuickDictate is made by the team that publishes this site. It is a Windows program that types what you say into whichever window you are using ^[3]. That can be an editor, chat box, terminal or web form ^[3].

You hold a key while you talk, or press it once to start and once to stop, and you can change both keys ^[3]. With five of the cloud providers, words appear while you are still talking ^[3]. You can list words and phrases to help it recognise them, and these are sent to the speech provider; you can also set it to fix spellings such as "Chat GPT" to "ChatGPT" ^[3]. Profiles can change the provider, language, vocabulary and formatting depending on which app is in focus ^[3].

Saying "scratch that" discards the text you just dictated instead of inserting it, and it is the only voice command included ^[3]. While you dictate, other apps' audio is muted or turned down and then restored ^[3]. You can browse and filter your last 50 dictations in Settings ^[3].

Pricing and fees

The facts used here include no Superwhisper price and no Wispr Flow price, so both are not published here. Check each tool's own pricing page for current amounts, free use and plan names.

QuickDictate is free for personal and other noncommercial use, with no subscription or account ^[3]. Commercial use needs a separate licence, and no price for that is published here ^[3]. If you use a cloud provider, that provider bills you directly for its service ^[3]. The providers named are ElevenLabs, Deepgram, OpenAI, AssemblyAI, DashScope and Google ^[3]. Their charge is on top of QuickDictate, which is free for noncommercial use ^[3]. Choosing Local instead needs no API key ^[3].

Neither Superwhisper's nor Wispr Flow's sources here list card fees or other charges.

Setting it up and daily use

QuickDictate. It runs only on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 ^[3]. You download it as an .exe file from GitHub, a site where software is shared, and a built-in updater works silently ^[3]. To dictate offline, choose Local in Settings and install a speech model such as Whisper Large v3 Turbo ^[3]. If you sign in, you can sync preferences such as hotkeys and language between PCs ^[3]. Day to day, you press your key and talk, and the text lands in the window you are using ^[3].

Superwhisper. Its facts here do not describe installation or which devices it runs on. It pastes your edited transcript into the app you are using ^[1].

Wispr Flow. It is available on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android ^[2]. It says it syncs across those four ^[2]. Its facts here do not describe the install steps.
