Parrot ScribeProtect your sources. On device.
Professional transcription that respects your privacy. Your audio never leaves your Mac, protecting your work and your sources.
Built for investigative journalism.
Private Encryption That Moves With Your Library
Your library stays encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM. After you copy it to another Mac, the software encryption root carried by iCloud Keychain, or your free 24-word recovery key without iCloud, opens it. 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.
