The software uses offline processing - all audio data remains on your local machine and is never transmitted to external servers. This ensures complete privacy and security of your data.

2.5 Transcription Accuracy

The software uses advanced machine learning models to transcribe audio content. However, transcription accuracy is dependent on various factors including but not limited to audio file quality, recording conditions, background noise, speaker articulation, audio clarity, and language complexity. The software provider does not guarantee 100% transcription accuracy or completeness. Users are responsible for reviewing and verifying transcriptions for accuracy, completeness, and correctness. The software provider is not liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in transcriptions, and users should exercise professional judgment when relying on transcription outputs.
