As I understand it and experienced it, Whisper Memos and SuperWhisper Pro are different categories of tool. Whisper Memos is a voice memo recorder for iPhone and Apple Watch. You record a thought, it transcribes the recording, and it emails the transcript to you. It does that well and with minimal fiddling, which I appreciate. But it does not function as a system-wide dictation tool on the Mac. There is no native Mac app. The only way to run it on a Mac is through the iPhone compatibility layer, which in my experience crashed almost immediately.
What I need is the ability to place my cursor in any application on my Mac, speak, and have the text appear directly in the document I am working on. That is what SuperWhisper Pro does. It works system-wide in any text field on the Mac.
Your concern about AI changing your words is the very issue I am evaluating. SuperWhisper Pro offers a Voice to Text mode that transcribes faithfully without rewriting. It also allows you to create a Custom Mode with specific AI instructions that tell the model to preserve your vocabulary exactly as spoken while handling formatting commands like paragraph breaks. You can even select which AI language model processes your speech. So the fiddling you want to avoid is really a one-time setup rather than an ongoing burden, and the payoff is dictation that respects your words while placing them directly where you need them.
Please feel free to correct me if I have this wrong. As I said, I’m very early in my assessment of dictation options.
