Hi Sarah, just confirming our meeting tomorrow at 3pm — I've attached the revised proposal.
What 1Transcribe Dictation actually does.
The capabilities you should expect from any modern dictation tool — and what makes 1Transcribe a strong fit if Superwhisper isn't quite right.
Works in every app
Email, docs, chat, browsers, code editors — text appears wherever your cursor is. No copy-paste, no switching windows.
Your vocabulary, built in
Add client names, specialized terms, code symbols, and brand spellings. The model has your context before you speak.
Reads like you typed it carefully
Removes ums, uhs, and rambling. Adds punctuation, fixes grammar, and matches your tone — output reads like polished writing, not a raw transcript.
Stops when you stop
A 3-second silence auto-stop and live waveform make dictation feel controlled instead of open-ended.
Replacement rules
Fix recurring words, symbols, acronyms, and spellings once so future dictations come out right.
Local history
Keep a useful record of recent dictations on your device, with control over whether history is saved.
Works inside the tools you already write in.
Email, docs, chat, browsers, terminals, AI tools, and every text field on your computer.
Gmail Slack Notion Google Docs ChatGPT Microsoft Word Outlook Discord X Linear Figma VS Code Cursor Claude + any text field
Private by default, clear by design.
Audio is processed for transcription, never used to train models, and not retained long-term. Dictation history stays on your device by default, and you control whether it is saved.

Superwhisper alternative — your questions
How is 1Transcribe different from Superwhisper?
Two big differences. First, platforms: 1Transcribe ships first-class apps for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android — Superwhisper is Mac-focused. Second, output style: 1Transcribe is built to produce polished writing (filler removed, punctuation added, replacement rules applied), not just a high-quality transcript.
Do I need to manage local AI models with 1Transcribe?
No. 1Transcribe uses cloud-powered AI — sign in and dictate, no model downloads or local setup. You get high accuracy across 99+ languages without managing files on your machine.
Can I use it on my iPhone or Android phone too?
Yes. 1Transcribe ships native iOS and Android apps, so you can dictate, review, and copy transcripts on the device you're already using.
What about privacy?
Audio is processed by our AI for transcription, never used to train models, and not retained long-term. Your dictation history stays on your local device by default — you control whether it's saved.
Is there a free version?
Yes. You get 10 free dictations forever with no credit card. You only upgrade to Weekly ($4.99) or Yearly ($99.99) when you want unlimited usage.
