Your voice, your data

Speakmac records audio locally on your device when you activate recording. The audio is kept in a temporary file so the app can produce the transcript you requested.

Crash diagnostics and basic usage analytics are opt-in. When enabled, they capture anonymized technical details so we can fix bugs faster.

Transcription happens entirely on your Mac. Audio is processed locally and never uploaded to Speakmac servers or any third-party provider.

We never sell or share transcripts, recordings, or analytics events with advertisers. Data is only used to deliver the transcription you asked for and to maintain the product.

Temporary recordings created during transcription are deleted automatically after the transcript is pasted unless you enable the optional recovery feature.

You can delete past transcripts and snippets at any time from the app. Removing them clears the associated audio files from local storage.

Speakmac does not send recordings to external transcription APIs. There are no cloud relays or provider integrations in the current release—everything stays on device.

We use Vercel Analytics and PostHog to understand traffic patterns on speakmac.app. These tools rely on cookies and device data to provide aggregate usage metrics.

All analytics are optional. You can disable them from in the app settings at any time.
