Using ParusVoice.

Set up ParusVoice on your Mac: sign in, allow microphone and Accessibility, choose your dictation key and start your first dictation in any app.

ParusVoice writes wherever your cursor is: in Mail, Word, Pages, your browser, messengers and Terminal. No plugin and no per-app setup.

Choose which key or key combination starts dictation in ParusVoice, and free up the Fn key from macOS dictation.

Choose your microphone in ParusVoice, use AirPods or an external microphone, and dictate even with your MacBook lid closed.

ParusVoice needs microphone access and macOS Accessibility. Here’s how to allow both and check that everything works.

In Default mode, ParusVoice inserts the finished text when you release the key. In Live mode, it writes sentence by sentence as you speak. Pick the right mode.

Speak in normal sentences. ParusVoice removes filler words like “uh”, applies the corrections you make while speaking and adds punctuation.

All spoken punctuation marks and line breaks in ParusVoice at a glance, from “comma” and “new paragraph” to “open paren”, plus bold and italics.

With “Edit by Voice” you select, replace and delete text without touching the mouse. All commands for Default and Live mode.

Add names and technical terms to the dictionary with the right spelling. ParusVoice also learns from your corrections.

Create text snippets: a spoken shortcut like “my signature” inserts the text you stored. Here’s how in ParusVoice.

The specialty modules recognize medical and legal vocabulary and format medical letters, findings and legal briefs. Here’s how to set them up.

Select an email or note and ask the assistant by voice: what to do, what it means or how to say it better. The answer appears alongside your work.

Select a passage and tell ParusVoice what it should become: shorter, more polite, a list or another language. The selection is replaced directly.

ParusVoice recognizes over 60 languages and follows you when you switch mid-sentence. Set your languages and dictate English and German mixed.

Speak English and write German: with live translation, ParusVoice inserts your dictation directly in the target language. Here’s how to turn it on.

Set up Agent mode: connect ParusVoice to Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build and answer your first agent question by voice.

In Voice mode, ParusVoice reads your coding agents’ questions aloud and takes your answer by voice. All commands and settings.

Your dictation doesn’t appear in the text field? Get the text back and find the cause, from the insert card to Accessibility.

ParusVoice doesn’t respond to the Fn key or your shortcut? The most common causes and what to do, from Accessibility to signing in.

ParusVoice gets names or words wrong? Improve recognition with the right microphone, the right languages and your dictionary.

If your internet connection drops during a dictation, ParusVoice saves the recording and transcribes it later. What works offline and what doesn’t.

Your dictations are kept in the history on your Mac. Find them again, set how long they’re kept and decide which text is sent along.

What Free and Pro include, how to try Pro free for seven days, where to see your usage and how ParusVoice runs on a second Mac.
