- What it is
- The project's own usage guide for akou, a macOS desktop app that records calls and transcribes them on the Mac. Its section on transcribing a file says how long akou keeps the files it transcribed as file jobs.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the project, so it is the authoritative statement of akou's behavior in the version documented. The app is a 0.x prerelease, and the period is a setting that the server configuration reference names with its default. The page reports no third-party test.
Facts taken from this source
- Akou's usage page says it deletes the audio files it transcribed as file jobs after server.retain_days, which is 7 days.
“akou jobs list shows the files transcribed this way, and akou deletes them after server.retain_days (7 days).” (Usage, Transcribing a file)
