Paraspeech

What is Paraspeech?

Paraspeech is an ultra-fast, offline speech-to-text application for macOS. It converts spoken words into written text directly on the device, without needing internet or subscriptions, helping users write faster, more privately, and efficiently.

How to use Paraspeech?

1. Install Paraspeech on a compatible Mac (macOS 14.6+ with Apple Silicon).
2. Speak in any app — the software listens and transcribes on-device.
3. Review and edit the transcribed text as needed; everything is saved locally.
