- What it is
- The home page of DeLive, a free and open source desktop app that records system audio and transcribes it through a choice of speech recognition providers. Its FAQ answers where audio and transcripts go, in two short sentences, and gives no retention period.
- How much weight it carries
- The project's own site, the only place this answer is given. It is a short FAQ, not a retention policy: it names no period and no deletion rule. Neither delive.me nor docs.delive.me links to a privacy policy. The docs site says the data never leaves the machine, which does not fit audio going to a cloud provider, so the FAQ's wording is quoted as written.
Facts taken from this source
- DeLive's FAQ says transcripts stay in local IndexedDB, and it gives no retention period for them. It says audio goes to the speech recognition provider the user chooses.
“Audio goes to your chosen ASR provider. Transcripts stay in local IndexedDB.” (Home page, FAQ: Does my data leave?)
