When Superwhisper is the better pick
Superwhisper is a mature app, and it can run fully on your device too. It fits you better in these cases.
- You dictate on Windows, iPhone or Android. evoglyph runs on Mac only.
- You dictate in a language other than English. Superwhisper lists 100+ languages. evoglyph is English only.
- You have an Intel Mac. evoglyph needs Apple Silicon. Superwhisper says Intel Macs work best with its cloud models5.
- You want meeting recording. Superwhisper records meetings on a Mac and labels each speaker. evoglyph does dictation only2.
- You want modes and your own AI instructions. Superwhisper has built-in and custom modes, and you can bring your own API keys2.
- You want the lowest published error rate. Superwhisper reports 2.2% on LibriSpeech for its cloud S1-Voice model. evoglyph scores 2.55% on LibriSpeech test-clean. The two tests use different harnesses, so treat the gap as a rough guide6.
When evoglyph is the better pick
- You want local cleanup on every dictation with nothing to configure. evoglyph ships a cleanup model inside the app, and it runs for every dictation. Superwhisper's local cleanup model, S1-mini, runs in two modes3.
- You want to pay once, at a low price. evoglyph costs $20 for a lifetime license, or $10 with the beta code.
- You have an M1 or M2 Mac. evoglyph needs no Apple Intelligence, so it runs on any Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14.2 or later.
- You want a check on the cleanup model. evoglyph checks each edited sentence and reverts an edit that drops a name or a number, or that its contradiction check flags. The safety net page explains how.
How fast is each one?
We make no speed claim against Superwhisper. We have not timed the two on the same Mac with the same recording, and the public timings we know of did not do that either. For what we measured, how, and the limits of the numbers, read the benchmark page.
