Open the original- What it measures
- The same FAQ says Cloud Enhancement is optional and that only transcribed text is processed if the user turns it on. This fact supports the processing column for the VoiceInk price rows; it is not a price.
- What it does not show
- A vendor claim on the access date. It describes the transcription step, not the optional text cleanup.
