The Problem
We think at 400 WPM.
We type at 40.

Every knowledge worker, student, nurse, and creator loses hours daily bottlenecked by a keyboard. The gap between thought and text is where productivity dies.

Sarah, Product Manager
Writes 3,000+ words/day in Slack, docs, and emails
"I spend more time typing than thinking. By the time I type my idea, I've lost the thread."
Marcus, Home Health Nurse
Documents 15+ patient visits per day
"I spend 2 hours after my shift just doing notes. My patients deserve that time."
Priya, Grad Student
Writing a 200-page thesis while TAing
"I can explain my research in 5 minutes but it takes me 2 hours to write it."

Speak naturally.
Words appear instantly.

On-device AI is the fastest-growing segment. Apple Silicon's Neural Engine makes real-time local transcription viable for the first time — no cloud, no latency, no subscription required.

Product Vision
More than dictation.

SuperEar is building the AI voice layer for your Mac — starting with dictation, expanding to meetings, chat, and vertical solutions.

Voice Dictation
Press a key, speak, text appears. Works in every app. Multiple Whisper models. Auto-paste at cursor.
LIVE NOW
Meeting Recording
Record any meeting — Zoom, Google Meet, in-person. AI-generated summaries, action items, and searchable transcripts.
COMING Q3 2026
AI Chat
Ask questions about your transcripts. "What did Sarah say about the timeline?" Context-aware AI across all your voice data.
COMING Q4 2026
Vertical Opportunity
Healthcare is drowning in documentation.

Nurses spend 35% of their shift on paperwork. Clinicians burn out from EHR data entry. SuperEar can fix this — starting with home health.

Home Health Nursing
Nurses dictate patient notes bedside. AI structures them into SOAP format. Syncs to EHR. Saves 2+ hours per shift.
3.5M home health visits/year in the US
Dental Clinics
Dentists dictate findings during exams. AI generates clinical notes. No scribe needed. HIPAA-compliant local processing.
200K+ dental practices in the US
Therapy & Counseling
Session notes generated from recordings. AI respects consent flows. Therapists focus on patients, not paperwork.
$70B behavioral health market

Key advantage: on-device transcription means patient audio never touches the cloud — a major HIPAA compliance selling point vs cloud-only competitors.
