Questions
This comparison does not make that claim. Both products describe local speech processing. Read each product’s current documentation and choose based on the complete workflow and connections you are comfortable with.
Superwhisper currently advertises Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android support. IraVoice runs on Apple-silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later, Windows 10 and 11, and Linux (beta), with no mobile app.
In terminals, editors, and coding agents, IraVoice finds the Git project the app is working in and types its code names as the code spells them: “use effect” becomes useEffect. Only names are read, never source text, and nothing leaves your computer. IraVoice itself does not write code or send prompts.
macOS 13+ on Apple silicon, Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), and Linux (beta)
The IraVoice trial includes every feature for 3 days, with no email, card, or account to download.
