What is Paraspeech?

Paraspeech is a cutting-edge speech-to-text app tailored for Mac and iOS that seamlessly transforms spoken words into structured text through a simple method of pressing, speaking, and releasing a button. Mac users can easily engage with the app by holding a specific hotkey at their chosen writing spot, articulating their thoughts naturally, and then letting go of the key; thereafter, Paraspeech processes the audio input and aims to directly insert the text into the active field, making use of clipboard functionality for text areas that don’t allow direct pasting. Those utilizing Apple Silicon Macs enjoy the advantage of local speech modes, which facilitate on-device transcription and offline usage after the initial setup, while various cloud options are also available depending on the selected backend. The application is equipped with fast local models supporting several languages, including English, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese, and provides dictation capabilities for 25 different languages, while its Multilingual Large model extends its coverage to over 100 languages when applicable. Additionally, the AI Rewriting feature can enhance lengthy and jumbled speech, transforming it into well-organized and polished text, using either Cloud Cleanup or an on-device rewrite model when available, significantly improving the user experience. This blend of features makes Paraspeech an exceptional tool for individuals looking to optimize their writing workflow through the convenience of voice input, thus appealing to a diverse range of users from students to professionals.

What is Aiko?

Aiko is an AI-powered audio transcription app for Apple devices, including macOS, iOS, and visionOS. The app helps users convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, interviews, recordings, voice memos, and other audio sources. Aiko uses OpenAI’s Whisper model running locally on the device, which means audio is processed on-device instead of being sent to an external transcription server. This makes the app especially useful for sensitive recordings and privacy-conscious workflows. On macOS, Aiko uses the Whisper large v2 model for high-quality transcription. On iOS, the app uses the medium or small Whisper model depending on available memory. Aiko also supports Shortcuts, allowing users to create workflows for batch-style transcription, Finder-based transcription, quick recording, action button recording, clipboard output, Notes integration, and additional processing. Users can transcribe files directly from Finder on macOS through Quick Actions after setting up the shortcut. On iPhone, users can create shortcuts to record, transcribe, show results in Aiko, or pass transcriptions into other apps. Aiko offers a 14-day TestFlight trial with full app access, no limitations, no auto-charges, and no commitment. By combining on-device Whisper transcription, strong privacy, Shortcuts automation, Apple ecosystem support, and simple speech-to-text workflows, Aiko helps users turn audio into usable text across personal, academic, and professional contexts.
