No screen capture. No cloud. No compromises.
Audio is processed in volatile RAM and deleted immediately after transcription. Parayu never captures your screen, never phones home, and works perfectly without WiFi.

One hotkey. Every app on your desktop.
Press ⌥ Space (or your custom hotkey) to start dictating. When you stop, Parayu types the clean text directly at your cursor — in Slack, VS Code, Notion, Gmail, Terminal, or any app.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
A comprehensive suite of dictation, formatting, and productivity tools — all running locally on your machine.
AI Voice Commands
Say 'format as email', 'summarize', or 'make it a list' — Parayu reshapes your dictation with offline AI prompt templates.
Malayalam → English
Dictate in spoken Malayalam or English slang. Parayu translates and maps colloquial words to clean English using curated dictionaries.
Personal Dictionary
Add 'misheard → correct' word pairs. Parayu auto-replaces them every time, learning your vocabulary over time.
Text Snippets
Define trigger phrases that expand into full paragraphs, signatures, or boilerplate — spoken shortcuts for repetitive text.
AI Cleanup & Formatting
Removes filler words (um, uh), fixes punctuation, capitalizes sentences, and detects self-corrections — all rule-based and instant.
AI Tone Styling
Adjust your output tone: Natural, Professional, Casual, Developer Prompt, or Short Reply. The local LLM adapts your words.
Pro Screenplay Editor
A full screenwriting tool with scene headings, character blocks, dialogue formatting, autocomplete, .fountain export, and PDF print.
Live Multi-Language Translation
Dictate in one language and see real-time translations in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi — all processed locally.
Audio Hardware Tuning
Select your microphone, test levels on a 16-bar VU meter, toggle auto-gain, noise suppression, and echo cancellation.
Insights Dashboard
Track total words, WPM speed gauge, contribution heatmap streaks, app-usage charts, and smart editing stats — all in one view.
Two Dictation Modes
Toggle mode (tap to start/stop) or Push-to-Talk (hold key to speak, release to paste). Custom hotkey recording included.
Clipboard Preservation
Parayu saves and restores your clipboard around every paste so your copied content is never lost.
Apple Silicon GPU Acceleration
Automatically uses Metal GPU on M1/M2/M3/M4 Macs for blazing-fast transcription. Falls back to CPU gracefully on Intel.
Smart vs Fast Cleanup
Smart mode uses rule-based + local LLM cleanup. Fast mode skips the LLM for instant results on short dictations.
Hallucination-Safe Output
The local LLM is configured to preserve names, numbers, dates, and links — never generating or hallucinating content.
macOS, Windows & iOS
Full native support on macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Windows 10/11. iOS app in active development.
