- What it is
- The privacy page of Viska, last updated July 2026. It describes how the Mac and iPhone apps transcribe on the device and what, if anything, leaves the device.
- How much weight it carries
- The maker's own privacy page, read on 2026-10-26. It covers the iPhone app and the Mac app, but the Mac app is marked as not yet released on the product page, and the page does not explain the API key that the product page mentions for the iPhone app.
