- What it is
- The privacy policy in the Koe documentation. It says the app has no account system, no analytics service and no first-party speech or LLM backend, so requests go from the Mac to the provider chosen in its config.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own policy for an open-source app, so its claims can be checked in the code. Each third-party provider's own policy applies to data after it reaches that provider.
Facts taken from this source
- Koe's privacy policy says the Koe MLX build can run speech recognition and the LLM locally after the model weights are downloaded.
