- What it is
- OpenWhispr's product page for its dictation software. It says the app is free to start, dictates into any app on the computer, and can run speech-to-text on the device or through OpenWhispr Cloud.
- How much weight it carries
- Vendor marketing page. Its claims about free use and app support are the maker's own. It also says audio is never stored, which the maker's privacy policy qualifies for the cloud option, so the privacy policy is the source for storage claims.
