Parrot ScribeProtect your sources. On device.
Professional transcription that respects your privacy. Your audio never leaves your Mac, protecting your work and your sources.

Keys Stay on Your Mac
Encryption keys live in your Mac's Keychain, and your transcripts are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We never see your keys or your data.
Import Your Field Recordings
Capture on your iPhone, voice recorder, or camera, then drag-and-drop audio files or video files with decodable audio tracks into your Library to import and transcribe locally.
Offline-First
Transcribe in the field, on a plane, or in high-security environments. No internet required for transcription.
