- What it is
- Superwhisper's documentation page on where dictated data goes. It explains that each dictation has two optional stages, a voice model that turns audio into text and a language model that post-processes the text, and that a Voice to Text mode uses no language model.
- How much weight it carries
- A vendor's own description of how its app is configured, so it is the authority on the modes and stages it lists, not an independent test. It does not say how often a mode changes the words you said.
Facts taken from this source
- When a Superwhisper user supplies their own API keys, the app acts as a client of that user's account with the AI provider, and the provider agreement, not Superwhisper's terms, governs how the data is handled.
“When using your own API keys, Superwhisper acts as a client to your provider account. Data handling is governed by your agreement with that provider, not Superwhisper’s.” (Use your own API keys (BYOK))
- Superwhisper's documentation recommends using your own API keys for organizations that already have HIPAA business associate agreements or financial data compliance agreements with an AI provider.
“This is the recommended path for organizations with existing HIPAA BAAs or financial data compliance agreements.” (Use your own API keys (BYOK))
- Superwhisper's documentation says that a dictation can skip its language model stage, and that its Voice to Text mode outputs raw transcribed text with no language model involved.
“you can use the Voice to Text mode, which outputs raw transcribed text with no language model involved” (Section 'Transcription only (no AI post-processing)')
