3. Voice Recordings

VoiceScribe AI requires microphone access to record your voice. Here's exactly what happens with your recordings:

• Your voice is recorded locally on your device.
• The audio is sent to Groq API for speech-to-text transcription and AI document formatting.
• Groq processes the audio in real-time and returns the formatted text.
• We do not store, save, or retain your voice recordings on any server.
• Once the AI processing is complete, the audio data is discarded.
• The resulting document is stored only on your local device.

4. Third-Party Services

VoiceScribe AI uses the following third-party services:

Groq API

We use Groq's API for AI-powered speech recognition and document formatting. Voice audio is sent to Groq's servers for processing. Groq's privacy policy applies to the processing of this data. Groq does not use your data to train their models.
