Why switch
Windows has built-in speech recognition. It does basic transcription. You still need to say "period" and "new line" out loud, and the output usually needs cleanup before you can send it.
Superwhisper handles punctuation and formatting automatically. It reads what app you're in and adjusts. Email gets professional formatting. Slack stays casual. Code editors get technical output. You don't configure this, it figures it out from your screen.

Who uses it
Developers talk to Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code by voice. Andrej Karpathy coined "vibe coding" using Superwhisper with Cursor. Writing prompts by voice is faster than typing, and it frees up your hands while you're reading code.
People who write a lot of emails use it to blast through their inbox. You talk, Superwhisper formats it as a proper email, and you send. Same for Slack and Teams messages.
If you have RSI or prefer not typing all day, system-wide voice input means you can use your Windows machine almost entirely by voice. Push-to-talk makes it feel natural.
