Input Device

Your dictation quality depends on having the right audio settings. Superwhisper’s sound configuration lets you pick your microphone, set optimal volume levels, and customize how it works on your particular audio setup.

1

Select Input Device

Choose your preferred audio input or let Superwhisper automatically select based on system defaults. The automatic option ensures Superwhisper always uses your system’s primary input device.

2

Adjust Microphone Volume

Enable automatic volume adjustment (recommended) to set your microphone’s input level for clear voice recordings. This ensures your voice is captured at the right volume without manual adjustments.

3

Audio Engine Selection

Not all microphones or devices are compatible with the new audio engine. If you experience audio capture issues, try disabling this option before reporting an issue.

Sound Effects

Superwhisper includes customizable audio feedback to enhance your dictation experience. These subtle cues help you stay informed about the application’s status without needing to watch the screen. You can adjust the volume of sound effects independently from your system volume, or disable them completely if you prefer silent operation.
