Audio is processed entirely on-device. System-wide hotkey, inserts into any focused app. Setup: open SuperWhisper → Modes → create a new mode → set type to Voice to Text → in the mode settings, change the voice model to **Standard** (the free model — select the highest-quality option that is not padlocked). Built-in Apple Dictation is a zero-setup fallback. **Windows:** [OmniDictate](https://github.com/gurjar1/OmniDictate) — free, open-source, uses faster-whisper as the backend. Push-to-talk via Right Shift (configurable), types directly into any focused Windows application. NVIDIA GPU with CUDA gives best performance; CPU-only mode works but is slower on larger models. Available as a `.exe` installer from the Releases page. Actively maintained — v2.0 shipped December 2025. Windows SmartScreen will warn on first run (unsigned binary); click through.
