In the source's own words
“New installs save dictation history encrypted on this device for one week by default”
VocalCode (home page), VocalCode, 2026, Home page, 'Speech audio stays on this computer' list.
Open the original- What it measures
- Applies to new installs. The same list says existing installations keep the history settings they had before an update.
- What it does not show
- The privacy notice calls the same list 'recent transcript history' and says it is kept in memory for the current app session, capped at 50 entries. It does not mention the encrypted history on disk, so the two pages differ on where the history is kept. The home page is the only page that gives a number of days for this history.
