In the source's own words
“Audio is sent to our API, or straight to one of our speech-to-text providers for live transcription, processed in real time, and not stored by us.”
OpenWhispr Privacy Policy, OpenWhispr, 2026, Voice, audio, and transcriptions: OpenWhispr Cloud.
Open the original- What it measures
- This is the cloud transcription option. The policy says the desktop app keeps dictation audio on the device for 30 days by default, and that this retained audio is never synced to OpenWhispr Cloud.
- What it does not show
- The claim is about storage by OpenWhispr. The audio still reaches OpenWhispr's API or a speech provider, so it is not kept on the device in cloud mode.
