Live insights and the live transcript

What Parley Notes can show you while a call is still going, what it needs and what it costs from your plan.

Both are on paid plans and both are optional.

Live insights

While you record, a panel fills with short cards:

  • Still open: what was agreed before and never closed.
  • Changed: something said now contradicts an earlier note.
  • Background: context from your notes about these people.
  • Worth asking: a question the conversation is circling.
  • Watch: a risk worth keeping an eye on.

They're drawn from your own notes about these people and this folder, your typed notes and any document you attached. Pin the ones you want to keep in view, dismiss the rest or tap Ask about this to go deeper without leaving the call.

Without the live transcript, insights work from your title, notes, documents and past meetings. With it, they also react to what's being said. Each recording has a ceiling on how many insights it produces and the panel says when it's reached. You can still ask questions below it.

The live transcript

Off by default. Turn it on from the Record page and complete one-minute clips are sent to the cloud as you go so the text runs about a minute behind the room. It's for reading along and for asking questions mid-call. The full speaker-labelled transcript still arrives when you stop, either way.

Each clip counts against your plan's minutes, on top of the recording itself. If you're transcribing on the computer to keep audio local, leave the live transcript off.
