Open the original- What it measures
- Read on 2026-10-23 from the maker's privacy notice, updated October 18, 2026. The same notice says audio buffers are used in memory during a talk and that the beta does not save audio recordings.
- What it does not show
- The notice says the beta does not upload audio for recognition. It does not use the words 'keeps audio on our servers'. Its daily usage ping never contains dictation or audio, but the ping does reach the maker's server with connection information.
