It takes 5 minutes to integrate your Parley API key with Cherry
There are numerous ways to make use of your Parley credentials. This guide will show you one of the easiest ways to get started with multiple types of functionality, using a laptop or desktop in the operating system of your choosing.
1
Install Cherry Studio
The highlighted options are the most likely matches for your work computer. Note: If you have an older Mac with an Intel processor, select the x64 version. Linux packages are available, too. These versions change as the software is updated, so you may need to locate these extensions on the latest release.
