SpeechFast vs Superwhisper
Two ways to dictate on a Mac.

Both apps let you dictate anywhere on your Mac, and both can transcribe on device. SpeechFast does one thing, entirely on your Mac, for a one-time price. Superwhisper does more, on more platforms, mixing local and cloud models on a subscription.
