One key to start in any app
On macOS you hold the Option key, on Windows you hold the Alt key. That single keypress activates ParrotKey on top of whatever app you are using, without changing focus or forcing you to switch windows.
Because ParrotKey works system wide, the dictated text appears wherever your cursor is: email fields, CRM notes, ticketing tools, documents, chat apps, code editors and browser forms.
Speak naturally, no commands required
You talk to ParrotKey like you would to a colleague. You do not need to remember voice commands for punctuation or formatting. ParrotKey automatically handles sentence structure, punctuation and basic formatting so the text reads as if you had typed it carefully yourself.
This zero-command approach is helpful when you are thinking through complex ideas, drafting detailed support answers or capturing ideas on the fly.
Fast, accurate transcription
As soon as you release the key, ParrotKey sends your speech to advanced AI speech recognition and returns text in 1 to 2 seconds in most cases. The voice dictation system is rated at 99.9% transcription accuracy on the product site, which is supported across more than 100 languages.
For teams that need stronger language quality, ParrotKey's grammar engine offers 99.97% grammar accuracy and is designed to outperform traditional grammar checkers while still keeping your original meaning.
Works online or offline, with privacy options
ParrotKey can run models locally on your machine in the "Own It Forever" plan, so dictation and other AI processing can work offline, including in flight mode. Data transfer is encrypted, ParrotKey offers a zero data retention policy and is built to be GDPR compliant, which is important when dictating sensitive documents or client information.
