Dictation for the work laptop
IT won't let you install on.

Hotkey dictation into any app, plus text-to-speech, batch jobs and a REST API on the same wallet, and a browser studio for the machines you cannot install software on. EU-hosted, GDPR-native.

The short version.

One subscription covers dictation, 43 text-to-speech voices in 32 languages, batch, audiobooks and a REST API. Superwhisper is dictation only

Dictate from a browser tab with nothing installed: works on Linux, ChromeOS and locked-down work laptops

Built for Windows and the web from the start, rather than added to a Mac app later

EU company, EU servers, GDPR by default

Edit what you just dictated by voice, without touching the keyboard

Speak loosely. Paste clean text.

Fillers out, punctuation in, capitals where they belong, before the text reaches your app.

List prices. Audexum in EUR, Superwhisper in USD, not FX-converted. Audexum bills one wallet: 1 credit = 1 TTS character, and dictation costs 200 credits per minute, which is where the hour figures come from. Superwhisper also sells a one-time lifetime licence, which Audexum does not. Check the source link before relying on any number here.

Why choose Audexum.

Superwhisper began life as a Mac app and added Windows later. Audexum went the other way: Windows and the browser first, because that is where the people who type all day actually sit. If you have ever tried to install a dictation tool on a work laptop and been told no by IT, the browser studio is the whole answer: same engine, same hotkey-free flow, nothing to install.

The bigger difference is scope. Superwhisper turns speech into text, and stops. Audexum runs the round trip: dictation in, and 43 text-to-speech voices across 32 languages out, plus batch jobs, audiobooks and a Bearer-token REST API, all spending the same credits. €29 a month is 50 hours of dictation, which is more than anyone speaks in a month, and the remainder becomes audio instead of expiring.

We are an EU company on EU servers, so GDPR is the default rather than an enterprise tier. Questions: [email protected].

Questions, answered.

Is there a Superwhisper alternative for Windows?

Audexum Dictate is a native Windows app with a global hotkey that types into any program, and there is a browser studio that needs no install at all, which also covers Linux and ChromeOS.

Does Audexum do text-to-speech as well as dictation?

Yes, and it comes out of the same credit balance. 43 voices across 32 languages, plus batch jobs and audiobook generation. Superwhisper does not offer text-to-speech.

Which languages can I dictate in?

100+ languages including Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian and Ukrainian. The engine auto-detects the language.

Is there a lifetime licence?

No. Audexum is subscription or pay-as-you-go credit packs, and credits from packs do not expire. Superwhisper does sell a one-time lifetime licence at $249.99.

Where is my audio processed?

On our EU servers or, at peak times, a sub-processor listed on our sub-processor page. Audexum is an EU company and GDPR compliance is the default configuration, not an add-on.

Two ways in, one account.

Install the Windows app for the global hotkey, or open the browser studio and start talking. 15 minutes of dictation a week, free, no card.
