Bedrock Dictate
vs Superwhisper.

Superwhisper started on Mac and now runs on Windows 10 and 11. Like Bedrock Dictate it can turn speech into text on your own computer with local models, and it adds cloud models and AI modes on its Pro plan. The differences are in what the free plan includes, how editing works and what each app is built around.
