- What it is
- Raycast's own privacy and security page for its AI features, with a section on how Dictation handles voice audio, transcriptions and statistics, and which AI providers receive data.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own statement of its data practices, so it is the authoritative source for what Raycast says it does. It is a policy statement, not an audit, and it can change.
Facts taken from this source
- Raycast's privacy page says dictated audio sent to its speech-to-text partner isn't retained on Raycast servers after the request completes.
“isn't retained on Raycast servers after the request completes” (Dictation section)
- Raycast's privacy page says each dictated transcription is saved on your device, and you can delete single transcriptions or the whole history at any time.
“Every transcription is saved to your local app's database on your device, not in our cloud, so you can find and reuse it later. You can delete individual transcriptions or wipe the entire history at any time” (Dictation section)
