Privacy & Security
Here’s how EMHware's Speech-to-Text feature protects your privacy:
- All processing happens locally in your browser → The transcription model runs on your device; nothing is sent to external servers.
- No audio or transcription data is stored remotely → Audio is processed only in memory during the active dictation session.
- Your browser will request microphone permission the first time you use dictation → This access can be revoked at any time through your browser settings.
