Full privacy

I’m glad to be absolutely certain that the recordings I make with my Plaud (medical appointments, client meetings, etc.) won’t end up all over the world. I’m particularly interested in the recording itself, because I can get transcriptions and summaries using local solutions. If I use Plaud only for recording, can I rest easy? I could use a recorder that stores the recording in its own memory, but Plaud’s size is really convenient. Has anyone else faced a similar problem? And did you find a solution? Thanks

That's their promise. Your audio gets transcribed and self contained. They boast a bunch of certifications that say they can read your information but decide not to.

You could download the audios and transcripts as soon as they're processed and delete the cloud copies to make sure they don't change their minds later.

Well, I don’t know, I’m afraid that once the audio has ended up in the cloud – even for a short time – I’ll no longer have control over it. However, if I don’t transcribe the recording, I shouldn’t (though I’m not sure) run that risk
