Paraspeech is an ultra-fast, offline speech-to-text app for macOS that lets you write at the speed of thought. Optimized for Apple Silicon (M‑series), it delivers near‑instant transcription while using under 200MB of RAM and minimal battery. Unlike cloud dictation, Paraspeech processes audio entirely on-device: only the initial model download needs internet, keeping your voice data private and secure. The app works system‑wide in every Mac application—IDEs, email, browsers, docs, and chat—without plugins or extra setup. Typical dictation reaches around 165 WPM, making it over 2x faster than average typing, and a built‑in ROI calculator estimates your monthly time and cost savings. Users can purchase a perpetual license for $39.99 with 12 months of updates, with unlimited usage and no subscriptions. Loved by 1,000+ power users, developers, and founders, Paraspeech is designed for effortless daily workflows like coding, note‑taking, and content creation. Requirements include macOS 13.5+, an Apple M‑chip, microphone access, and a one‑time model download.
