Pricing Questions

How does the free trial work?
You get free transcriptions before choosing a plan. Subscription checkout gives you a 7-day trial.
What's the difference between subscription and lifetime?
Monthly and yearly subscriptions include cloud processing plus supported local/on-device modes. Lifetime is a single payment for eligible local/on-device models only.
Can I use Paraspeech on multiple devices?
Subscriptions cover all your devices. Lifetime also covers all your devices for local on-device models.
Is my voice data private?
Privacy depends on the active speech backend, the separate rewrite backend, temporary speech-fallback state, and operational feature. When the active speech-recognition backend is local, speech audio is transcribed on your Mac. When the direct Mac distribution and current product access make an on-device rewrite backend available, and that backend is active, rewrite text is processed on your Mac. Eligible cloud speech or rewrite paths, including allowed temporary speech fallback, transmit the content needed for that operation to the applicable cloud provider; operational flows such as account access, purchases, analytics, diagnostics, downloads, support, and updates may also use the network. Lifetime licenses cover eligible on-device features only.
What languages does Paraspeech support?
Fast local models cover English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and 25-language dictation. Multilingual Large provides broader 100+ language coverage where that model is available.
What hardware do I need?
Requires macOS 14.0 or later. Apple Silicon Macs can use local modes; eligible Intel Macs use cloud-backed subscription models.
