FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

Is my audio data private? +

Yes! When using on-device transcription with Apple Speech, your audio never leaves your device. When using cloud providers like OpenAI or Deepgram, audio is sent directly to their APIs using your own API keys—we never see or store your audio.

How much does it actually cost? +

The app is free to download. On-device transcription is completely free. Cloud transcription with your own API keys typically costs $0.006/minute (about $0.36/hour) with Deepgram or OpenAI Whisper. You pay the provider directly—we don't add any markup.

What's the difference between on-device and cloud transcription? +

On-device (Apple Speech) is instant, free, and private—but may be less accurate for specialized vocabulary. Cloud providers like Deepgram and OpenAI Whisper offer higher accuracy, support for more languages, and features like speaker diarization.

Can I use this for meetings? +

On Mac, you can capture system audio from meeting apps like Zoom or Teams. On iOS, the app captures audio from your device's microphone—place your phone near the speaker for best results in meetings.

How do I set up my API keys? +

Open the app's Settings and enter your API keys in the Providers section. Keys are stored securely in your Mac's Keychain and can sync to iOS via iCloud Keychain. We never see or transmit your keys.
