Use Local Mode for on-device speech transcription. Cloud transcription is optional and can stay disabled for privacy-sensitive work.
All transcription happens locally on your device using OpenAI Whisper AI. No audio ever sent to external servers.
Medical, legal, and business teams can evaluate Local Mode for workflows where audio should stay on the endpoint. Always match the setup to your own compliance policy.
No internet connection required. Perfect for flights, remote locations, or when you simply want complete data control.
Unlike cloud services, we don't store, analyze, or monetize your voice data. What you say stays on your device.
Businesses can keep transcription local by policy and disable Cloud Mode for teams that should not upload audio for transcription.
GPU acceleration means local processing is often faster than cloud API calls. No network latency.
