Keep Superwhisper if you want dictation
- You want your voice typed into any app, including coding tools.
- You want transcription that runs on your own device, even without a connection.
- You want modes that shape tone and format as you dictate.
Superwhisper alternative
Superwhisper writes for you. VoxNota remembers for you.
Superwhisper is fast, private dictation: speak, and polished text lands in Slack, Gmail or your code editor. If that is the job, it is very good at it. But some talking is not meant for a text box. It is you working something out. VoxNota keeps that, and lets you find it again.

Questions
Straight answers.
- Can VoxNota type into my apps like Superwhisper?
- No. VoxNota is not a dictation tool. It keeps what you say as notes you can search and ask about. If you want speech typed into your editor or inbox, keep Superwhisper.
- Can my coding agent read my VoxNota notes?
- Yes, on paid plans. VoxNota has a read-only API and a command-line tool, so an agent such as Claude Code or Cursor can list, read and search your notes. Each note's link can also return markdown for agents.
- Does VoxNota work offline?
- Not for transcription. VoxNota transcribes in the cloud, so turning a recording into a note needs a connection. If on-device, offline dictation matters most, Superwhisper is built for that.
- Is VoxNota free?
- Yes to start. 60 minutes need no signup, and signing in with Google gives you 500 minutes of lifetime recording, free forever. Paid plans add recording space.
