- What it is
- The privacy page of BetterWispr. It explains that built-in speech models process dictation on the Mac, that audio or text leaves the Mac only through a provider the user selects, and how history and recordings are stored.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own privacy statement, so it is the authority on its data handling. It does not state a retention period for dictation history, and it does not say in words whether the maker ever receives recordings, which is why one row is read from the sentence on providers.
