Features in your workflow
Different tasks can use different instructions and models. This is useful when you deliberately separate raw transcription, translation and rewriting. Our free starting point is aimed more at everyday local dictation.

Local text modes, vocabulary, optional history and statistics support drafting. Automatic insertion does not use the general clipboard by default; compatible insertion is an explicit option. A free download does not replace a compatibility test.

The app price remains zero for ten downloads. IT effort, devices, storage and support are not included; this implies no enterprise service commitment.
When Superwhisper is a better fit
Superwhisper is the stronger shortlist choice for extensive model selection and custom prompts. Verify local mode on your actual device.
More model options mean more configuration decisions. With your own API keys, provider billing and data routes become part of the comparison.

When AInauten Voice fits
AInauten Voice fits local dictation on an Apple Silicon Mac if you accept the limits of a free beta.
The beta is locally signed, not Apple-notarized, and uses a library-validation exception. This is not a blanket security approval. Automatic insertion without the clipboard does not work in every field.

Switching and setup
We do not offer a direct Superwhisper migration. Add important vocabulary deliberately and configure shortcuts and text modes again. Back up custom prompts separately and compare their effects on examples.
Keep your existing workflow during the trial. Install the beta using the guide, approve microphone and accessibility permissions yourself and configure a separate shortcut. Test one sentence, specialist vocabulary and then a longer paragraph. Rely on insertion in your destination app only after that check.
Support and evidence
Our beta has help and a reporting option. It does not promise guaranteed enterprise support or full validation of every destination app. We publish no invented switching stories or attributed customer quotes in this comparison. Check the other vendor documentation for contractual support terms.

No. Decide by devices, data routes, required features and correction effort. We have measured no general accuracy advantage here.
How we compare
This page is published by the team behind AInauten Voice. Vendor statements were checked on 2026-10-09; recommendations are our interpretation of the tasks described.

Prices are snapshots in the stated currency; checkout and plan details take precedence.
