Superwhisper does not automatically delete past recordings. It’s recommended to periodically clean up your history manually to manage storage space.

​
Analyze Results

Superwhisper’s History can display your voice transcription and AI-processed text. Two sets of controls let you switch between these views: one in the top-right side of the window and another below the waveform display. Each set includes buttons to toggle between “Voice” (the original transcription) and “AI” (the processed result), plus a “Copy” button that copies the currently displayed text.
Note that AI processing depends on your selected mode, so some recordings may only have voice transcription available.

When in Segments view, you can rename speakers in two ways:
