Presspeech 0.3.0

Parakey is now Presspeech. The old name collided in search with an
unrelated access-control product; the new name is distinctive and says
what the app does: press, speak, release.

The rename does not reset the app. Presspeech keeps the existing bundle
identifier and preferences suite, so macOS permissions, hotkey choices,
text settings, and local dictionary rules carry over.

New

  • Voice shortcuts map a phrase you say to exact reusable text. They
    are deterministic, local, and managed alongside dictionary
    corrections.
  • Spoken formatting commands optionally turn phrases such as “new
    line”, “new paragraph”, “bullet point”, “comma”, “open quote”, and
    parentheses into exact formatting without a rewriting model.
  • Try Dictation opens a focused private scratchpad after setup, so
    the first hotkey test has an obvious destination.
  • FluidAudio is updated to v0.15.5 after model-integrity, cold-download,
    latency, and real-dictation regression checks.

Upgrade notes

Homebrew users can run:

brew update
brew upgrade --cask rcourtman/parakey/presspeech

The tap migrates the installed cask token from parakey to
presspeech and replaces Parakey.app with Presspeech.app. When
upgrading from a v0.2 build through the in-app updater, Homebrew may
finish the upgrade and the old updater may still open this release page
because the bundle moved. If that happens, launch
/Applications/Presspeech.app; the upgrade itself is complete. macOS
shows its standard downloaded-app confirmation on the first launch under
the new name; choose Open after checking that Apple found no malicious
software.

For a previous direct-download install, quit Parakey, move
Presspeech.app into Applications, launch it once, then remove the old
Parakey.app. Do not run both copies at the same time because they
intentionally share one permissions and settings identity.
