- What it is
- The privacy page of Epilude for Local Mode. It says Local Mode dictation runs on the Mac and works with no internet, and that Cloud mode is the default engine.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own page, read on the access date. It gives a different cloud language count (35+) from the pricing page (30+), so the two pages disagree on that figure.
Facts taken from this source
- The privacy page says Local Mode dictation works with no internet at all.
“Your audio never leaves it, and it works with no internet at all.” (Section below 'Speak in private. Nothing leaves your Mac.')
