Check if the textbox is changed, and if CTRL + V is being held down at the same time.
local chatbox = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame.BoxFrame.Frame.ChatBar;
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService');
chatbox.Changed:Connect(function()
if (UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl) or UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.RightControl)) and (UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.V)) then
print(chatbox.Text)
end
end)
local chatbox = game:service'Players'.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Chat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame.BoxFrame.Frame.ChatBar
if chatbox then
chatbox.Changed:Connect(function()
print(chatbox.Text)
end)
end

Yes, there is no method to detect a clipboard paste, unless you got the difference from the text in the box then the text in the box after a change and if it is more than 2 characters you can probably say its pasted.

Use userinputservice and check for CTRL + V held at the same time.
