How Just Parley works
Hold a key, speak, release. Your words land where your cursor is — and in your clipboard, just in case.
Lives in your menu bar
Three states show what’s happening at any moment. Same on macOS and Windows (system tray).

Recording
Red dot means you’re being heard. Keep holding.
Processing
Transcribing and pasting. Usually under a second.
The flow, in detail
Click into any text field
Make sure your cursor is where you want the text to go — email, Slack, code editor, AI chat, doc, anywhere.
Hold your hotkey and speak
A live overlay appears near your cursor showing the transcription as you talk. Speak naturally — punctuation, pauses, and numbers are handled for you.
Release — your words appear
Just Parley copies your transcription to your clipboard and presses Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+V (Windows) for you. Instant paste, right where you expected.
Your words are always safe
Every transcription is copied to your clipboard first, then auto-pasted. If the paste ever doesn’t land — you clicked away, an app blocked the keystroke, a permission wasn’t granted — just press Cmd+V or Ctrl+V. Your text is right there. You never lose what you spoke.
Everything you can customize
Same experience on Mac & Windows
The hotkey, overlay, clipboard safety, and settings work identically on both platforms. Download once, use everywhere.
