Your voice is being sent to someone else's server.
Most dictation apps upload your audio to the cloud. Emails, messages, searches, private thoughts — processed on hardware you don't own.
Your voice reveals more than you realize.
Private emails and messages — uploaded to third-party servers
Dictation providers can be subpoenaed for your audio
Apple dictation sends audio to Apple servers by default
"We don't look at your data" is a policy — policies change
Dictation that never sends your voice to a server.
In on-device mode, Voibe runs on your Mac's Apple Silicon chip. Audio is transcribed on-device in under 300ms and immediately discarded. Your voice data never leaves your Mac. On Windows and Intel Macs, zero-retention cloud mode never stores your audio either.

How Your Privacy Is Protected
In on-device mode, your voice data never touches a cloud or server. There is nothing to breach.
In on-device mode, audio is processed in-memory on your Mac's Apple Silicon chip and immediately discarded. No dictation data is stored, logged, or transmitted. On Windows or an Intel Mac, Voibe uses zero-retention cloud mode instead: audio is deleted the moment transcription completes, never stored, and never used to train AI.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Apple's built-in dictation?
Apple's dictation sends audio to Apple servers (unless you enable on-device mode, which has lower accuracy). It also has a 30-60 second timeout and ~90% accuracy. Voibe's on-device mode is 100% local always, 97%+ accurate, no timeout, with custom vocabulary and developer mode.
How is this different from Wispr Flow?
Wispr Flow sends your audio to cloud servers for processing. Voibe processes everything on your Mac in on-device mode, or on a zero-retention cloud that deletes audio the moment it becomes text. Wispr costs ~$12/mo ($288 over 2 years). Voibe is $149 lifetime.
What about Superwhisper?
Superwhisper is also on-device (good!), but costs $249 lifetime vs Voibe's $149. Voibe also has Developer Mode with VS Code/Cursor integration that Superwhisper doesn't offer.
Do I need an Apple Silicon Mac?
No. Voibe runs on all Macs (Apple Silicon and Intel) and on Windows. Fully on-device mode requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later); Intel Macs and Windows use zero-retention cloud mode.
Do I need to be online?
No, not in on-device mode: on an Apple Silicon Mac, dictation runs 100% locally with no internet connection. In zero-retention cloud mode (used on Windows and Intel Macs), an internet connection is required.
