Security
Updated: March 2026
This page summarizes the security logic of Vocalype: local by default, cloud only if you choose, and a clear reading of what does or does not pass through the service.
The main point is simple: no audio upload to our servers is required to make local dictation work. The cloud remains optional.
1. Local processing
Default
Local transcription, audio kept on your machine, operation designed to limit dependence on the cloud.
Platforms
Native support for Mac, Windows and Linux, with the same basic principle: keep maximum processing on the device side.
2. Optional cloud
Some cloud providers may be enabled for specific functions, but they are never enforced for the default local path. If you choose cloud mode, the processing involved also depends on the selected provider.
3. Account and payment
- network communications over HTTPS
- payment managed via Stripe
- no in-house storage of bank cards
- more details in the privacy policy
4. Security contact
