Open the original- What it measures
- The same page describes the audio path: captured on the device, sent over TLS 1.2+, transcribed in the cloud, then discarded.
- What it does not show
- The page describes the default setting and the company's stated practice, not an independent audit. Audio is processed on Wispr servers, so this is a cloud app.
