Open the original- What it measures
- The policy describes how the app processes microphone audio. The App Store build ships both speech models inside the app, so the default setup needs no model download.
- What it does not show
- The policy does not list languages. It describes the default setup, and it notes that a model download happens only when the user chooses another model.
