What Sets Parrot Scribe Apart
Built for AI Workflows
Built-in MCP support lets Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools read your transcripts directly, including live transcripts during active sessions.
Hardware-Level Encryption
Every transcript is encrypted with keys derived from your Mac's Secure Enclave. Per-session keys mean compromising one session never exposes another.
Persistent Speaker Recognition
Identify a voice once, and Parrot Scribe remembers it across every future session. Automatic speaker labels, searchable history, and one-click re-enrollment.
Buy Once, Own Forever
One-time purchase. No subscriptions, no per-minute fees, no usage caps. Unlimited transcription on your devices.
Built for conversation-first work
Parrot Scribe is for professionals who need more than file transcription. Capture live on your Mac, import recordings later, keep everything local, search across sessions, remember speakers, and optionally let any MCP-compatible AI workflow work from the transcript while the session is still happening.
Why it matters
Capture live or import later
Use direct Mac capture for active meetings, then drag in Voice Memos, audio files, or video recordings with decodable audio tracks later without splitting your workflow.
Why it matters
Keep a real meeting memory
Your transcripts stay in a searchable archive with speaker-aware recall instead of turning into loose exported files.
Why it matters
Bring your own AI
Parrot Scribe does not lock you into one assistant. Connect the transcript layer to any MCP-compatible workflow you trust.
Why it matters
Trust the local-only path
The product is shaped around a clear local-first trust boundary, with optional AI access staying explicit and under your control.
