Voice Writer home page, with features and pricing, Voice Writer, 2026, Data and Privacy.
Open the original- What it measures
- The sentence follows the Data and Privacy paragraph, which says the microphone listens only while you are speaking and the app is open, and never runs in the background.
- What it does not show
- The page does not say how the Mac app recognizes speech, and it does not say where web app speech is processed. The free tier uses the browser's built-in speech recognition and the paid tier uses premium speech recognition, and the page describes neither as on-device. The row applies to the Mac app only.
