Okay I see - perhaps the interface shown in the video is out of date. It’s a cool little app, I’d be happy to pay a few dollars for something like this, but not a subscription.

  Fair enough! Theres a very generous free tier (both small and base models enabled) that should cover a basic use case. Justification for charging a subscription is value based: 65 bucks a year is not a lot to spend if it saves you 10+ hours of time typing, and editing your messages. Dictating is joyful and saves me time each day. superwhisper spells/punctuates better and writes faster than I can with a keyboard. This alongside the cost to me, 10s of hours each week of my time as the solo developer go into: • Supporting users with their issues and bugs fixes • Continuing to update the app with new features (4 major features released this month alone) • Making sure you have access to the latest features and capabilities as AI advances. Also, keep in mind, with free / cheap solutions: "If you are not paying for it, you're the product".

    Fair enough, it’s 100% your product to price how you see fit. I do think you’re shooting yourself in the foot a bit, though. But best of luck to you! The free version is great, keep up the good work.

      Thanks! I hope at some point you find it useful enough to justify the price.

    I have a gripe with voice dictation apps. I found this back a decade or more ago when I saw windows 7 had an inbuilt voice recognition. Before that I had an old copy of dragon on xp or 98 I think but the problem remained. I want this. >> I want to say a sentence. The computer would understand and speak it back to me. Yes. Then I would say a sentence. It says a word wrong. Scratch that. I say the whole line again. It may sound repetive but it "should" work because every dictation software expects user to monitor the screen and fix errors that way. If I am reading the screen, I might as well use a keyboard. I want this full screen-less voice dictation experience by sitting in a comfy blanket, eyes closed and just letting words flow. Anything else and I would rather just use the keyboard as I said.

A push-to-talk option would be a fine addition for something like this, let you fire off single sentences quickly.

  Interesting, could implement this as an option. Out of curiosity what would you map it to on your keyboard?

    I would make it just use the same hotkey, but held down. So in the default case, tapping option-space would start a normal recording session, tapping again would stop it; holding option-space down would start a PTT session, releasing would end it. PTT would be such a naturally good fit here imo.
