OpenWhispr, 2026

- What it is
- OpenWhispr's privacy policy. It describes the desktop app's local and cloud transcription modes, what OpenWhispr Cloud does with audio, the custom dictionary, and a commitment not to train AI models on users' audio.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own legal text, the most specific source for storage and training claims. Desktop settings and the cloud option can change, and the page is a policy, not a technical audit.
