About the startup

LocalParrot provides a secure way to convert speech to text directly on your device. Designed for Windows, the application works entirely offline with no cloud processing, no account requirements, and no subscription fees, ensuring your voice data remains private and never leaves your computer. Everything happens on your machine. LocalParrot never sends your audio anywhere: no cloud, no account, no internet connection required to use it. Turn off your WiFi and try it, it works exactly the same. That's not a limitation, that's the point. 100% offline, nothing you say or type ever leaves the device. One shortcut, hold, speak, release. Text lands right where your cursor is. Works everywhere: any app, any textbox: email, chat, notes, code editors. See it work: a live waveform confirms it's capturing while you talk. Pay once: no subscription, no account.
