Your voice never leaves your Mac. No cloud, no accounts, no data collection.
Apple's built-in dictation works in some apps, but fails in many others — especially Electron apps like Slack, Discord, VS Code, and Notion. It doesn't support Cantonese, and on Intel Macs, your voice is sent to Apple's servers. Just Parley is truly universal: it works in every app, supports 5 languages, runs 100% offline, and never sends your voice anywhere.
