Open the original- What it measures
- The maker's home page, in its FAQ answer on dictating with translation, and in the privacy section, which says only the text is sent.
- What it does not show
- Off until the user adds an OpenRouter key. Ordinary dictation never reaches the network. The page says only text is sent, never audio.
