1) Complete privacy & control
With VoiceScriber, your audio never leaves your iPhone for transcription. There's no background uploading or server‑side processing. This "local‑first" approach puts you in control of your data.
Why this matters
- Minimize exposure to third‑party storage and retention policies.
- Keep confidential notes (clients, research, personal data) on your device.
- Share transcripts only when you choose.
Compliance note: On‑device processing reduces data hand‑offs and can help support organizational privacy standards. Confirm regulatory requirements with your legal team.

Airplane mode, the subway, rural fieldwork, or a crowded conference—offline transcription means you can work anywhere. You're no longer blocked by spotty Wi‑Fi or mobile data.
Real‑world wins
