One key, three tools

Dictation is just the beginning.

One key

Hold, speak, let go.

The system-wide hotkey works everywhere — Mail, browser, Word. Your text lands right where your cursor is, as you speak.

AI refinement

Clean text, not a raw transcript.

Filler words vanish, punctuation falls into place, slips correct themselves. You choose how much ParusVoice polishes your text — from verbatim transcript to finished prose.

Assistant

Ask, rephrase, think ahead.

Select text and say what should happen to it — or simply ask a question. The answer appears right next to your work, no window switching.

Your vocabulary

Words only you use.

Proper names, jargon, abbreviations: add them to your dictionary once and they are spelled right from then on. Replacements type recurring snippets for you.

Why ParusVoice

What we care about.

Processed in the EU

Your dictation runs through our server in Vienna and EU infrastructure. Audio is never stored — and your content never trains AI models.

One key for everything

Dictate, correct, ask, rephrase — one system-wide hotkey, in every app, without switching windows.

Lean and native

Built for the Mac, not ported: launches instantly, stays out of your way, barely uses memory.

60+ languages, one dictation

ParusVoice detects the language as you speak — switch mid-sentence without flipping a thing. And on request it translates live: speak German, write English.

From Vienna, for the DACH region

A local, German-speaking provider — proximity, support and data protection from one place.

Frequently asked

In short.

Why doesn't recognition run entirely on my Mac?

Because quality decides. The best recognition and language models are too large for a notebook — local models hear noticeably worse and make apps gigabytes heavy. ParusVoice stays featherlight and processes your dictation, encrypted, on our servers in Vienna: in the EU, with no audio ever stored. You get top-tier recognition and your Mac stays fast.

What happens to my recordings?

They are converted to text in real time — and that is all they are used for. Neither audio nor dictation content is stored on our servers. Your history lives exclusively on your Mac, and you decide for how long: from unlimited to "don't store at all". And your content is never used to train AI models — a rarity in today's market.

Which apps does ParusVoice work in?

Practically all of them. Text appears wherever your cursor is — Mail, Word, browser, messengers, professional software. No plugins, no per-app setup.

What does ParusVoice cost?

Getting started is free: create an account, download the app, dictate — with a free allowance and no payment details. When you need more, you get a subscription right in the app.

Which languages does ParusVoice understand?

Over 60 — and you can mix them: ParusVoice detects the language automatically, even mid-sentence. On request it translates live while you dictate (Pro plan).

Does ParusVoice train AI models on my dictation?

No. Your dictation is processed solely to deliver your result — it is neither stored nor used to train AI models. That sets ParusVoice apart from many dictation services on the market.

Is ParusVoice GDPR-compliant?

Yes, by design: processing in the EU (servers in Vienna), no stored audio, no dictation content on our servers, history kept only locally on your Mac. For companies, law firms and medical practices, a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is available on request.

How do I cancel?

Right in the app, any time, effective at the end of the term. No phone calls, no deadline tricks.
