Your Voice Notes Are Being Sent to Apple. Ours Aren't.
Your Voice Notes Are Being Sent to Apple. Ours Aren't.
Every time you use voice-to-text on your phone, your audio gets sent to Apple or Google servers. They transcribe it. They store it. They use it to train their models.
Your private conversations. Your business calls. Your personal notes. All on someone else's server.
We built something different.
The Dirty Secret of Voice Transcription
| App | Where Audio Goes |
|---|---|
| Siri | Apple servers |
| Google Assistant | Google servers |
| Otter.ai | Their cloud |
| Most transcription apps | AWS/Google Cloud |
| Wysor iOS | Nowhere. Stays on device. |
When you dictate a text message, Apple hears it. When you use voice search, Google hears it. When you record a meeting, Otter.ai hears it.
They claim it's "for processing." But the audio leaves your device. That's the only fact that matters.
On-Device Transcription
Our iOS app transcribes voice entirely on your device.
| What happens | Cloud transcription | Wysor |
|---|---|---|
| Audio sent to server | Yes | No |
| Works offline | No | Yes |
| Third party access | Yes | No |
| Speed | Depends on internet | Instant |
| Privacy | Trust the provider | Guaranteed |
No internet required. No server processing. The audio never leaves your phone.
Why This Matters
Medical Conversations
Discussing symptoms with your doctor. Dictating notes about medications. HIPAA doesn't help if Google has the audio.
Legal Discussions
Attorney-client privilege means nothing if your transcription app is sending audio to the cloud.
Business Strategy
Dictating notes about acquisitions, pricing, competitive moves. Want that on someone else's server?
Personal Moments
Journaling. Therapy notes. Private thoughts. These deserve actual privacy.
How It Works
Modern phones are powerful enough to run speech recognition locally.
| Component | How We Handle It |
|---|---|
| Speech model | Runs on-device |
| Processing | Your phone's neural engine |
| Storage | Local only (encrypted) |
| Sync | Your choice, your encryption |
Apple's Neural Engine and Android's ML accelerators can run sophisticated models. There's no technical reason to send audio to the cloud anymore. It's just cheaper for the provider.
We chose privacy over margin.

The Comparison
| Feature | Apple Dictation | Google Voice | Otter.ai | Wysor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-device | Partial | No | No | Yes |
| Works offline | Limited | No | No | Yes |
| Audio uploaded | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Third-party access | Apple | Otter | None | |
| Open about data use | Vague | Vague | Vague | Clear: we don't have it |
Privacy Isn't a Feature. It's Architecture.
"We respect your privacy" means nothing. Every company says that.
"We can't access your data because we never receive it"—that's architecture. That's what we built.
We can't sell your voice data because we don't have it. We can't get hacked and leak your transcripts because they're not on our servers. We can't be subpoenaed for your recordings because we never stored them.
