Quick Start
Once ParrotScribe is installed and activated, creating your first transcription takes just a few clicks.

- Click Start Listening
- Start speaking or play audio
- Click Stop Listening when you're done
That's it! Your transcription is automatically saved.
What Gets Captured
ParrotScribe can capture two audio sources:
Microphone - Your voice and room audio. Use for meetings and conversations.
System Audio - What plays through your Mac. Use for online meetings, videos, and podcasts.
By default, both sources are enabled. You can toggle them in Settings.
Find Your Transcription
Click Open Transcript Folder in the menu to access your transcriptions.
Transcriptions are saved to ~/Documents/ParrotScribe/.
Each session creates a .tscript file named with start and end timestamps. The file contains timestamped entries with source markers (M=microphone, S=system audio).
