OpenTranscribe does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data.

No network

The app has no networking code. It creates no accounts, contacts no servers, and includes no analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs. It functions identically with no internet connection.

Everything stays on your device

Audio is recorded and stored locally. Transcripts are generated on the device and stored encrypted on the device.

Nothing is uploaded, synced, or backed up to us, because there is no server on our side to receive it.

Transcription runs on the device

The app requires its transcription engine to declare that it operates on-device, and it refuses any engine that does not. Your audio is never sent off the phone to be transcribed.

Permissions

The app uses two permissions. Microphone access is used to record your voice. Speech recognition access is used to transcribe it on the device. Both are used only for those purposes.

Your data, your control

We have no access to your recordings or transcripts and cannot retrieve, view, or delete them. You can delete them at any time from within the app.

Because the app collects no data, there is nothing for us to store, share, correct, or export, and no third party receives any data.

Verify it yourself

The source code is public and MIT licensed, so every statement above can be checked directly against the code that runs on your phone.
