There is no single best dictation app. It depends on what you want: free, the most features, everything on your device, or Dutch with processing in the EU. Here are Apple Dictation, Wispr Flow, Superwhisper and Dicteer side by side.

Dicteer is ours. Read this with that in mind. About other apps, we only state what we could check on their own site or App Store page. The sources are at the bottom.
