Intro to Modes
Superwhisper modes tailor how your voice gets processed, helping you work faster and smarter. Choose the right mode to transform your dictation into exactly what you need.
For greater workflow flexibility, create different versions of each mode by customizing voice models, AI models, and other settings. Click any mode’s name to rename it.
