Privacy Policy

Overview

TalkToTextly is a browser-based transcription tool. Your audio is processed on your device using in-browser AI, so we do not upload your recordings to our servers to create a transcription.

This policy explains what limited product, analytics, advertising, and browser-stored data may still be involved when you use the site.

What data we process

Audio and transcription content

Your audio file stays in your browser during transcription. We do not send the recording to TalkToTextly servers for processing, storage, or manual review.

Browser-stored data

If you use features like transcription history, language preferences, or consent settings, that information may be stored locally in your browser using localStorage or similar browser storage.

Usage and reliability data

We may collect limited analytics and diagnostics data such as page views, device/browser type, feature usage, performance timings, and error events. We do this to keep the product working, measure reliability, and improve the experience.

Advertising data

We use Google AdSense to support the free product. Depending on your consent choice and Google’s policies, Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar identifiers to collect or infer data such as page context, browser/device details, IP address (or IP-derived region), advertising identifiers, and ad interaction events.

For details, see How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

How we use data

• To run transcription locally in your browser
• To load model files and static assets required for the app to function
• To monitor errors, performance, and product reliability
• To measure aggregate product usage
• To serve ads that help keep TalkToTextly free
• To respond to support requests you send us

Third-party services

• Google AdSense — advertising
• Google Analytics — aggregate analytics and measurement
• Sentry — error monitoring and debugging
• Hugging Face — model delivery to the browser
• AWS Amplify / CloudFront — static hosting and delivery

Cookies and consent

TalkToTextly uses essential browser storage for site behavior, and we ask for your choice before enabling ads and analytics measurement. You can continue with essential-only functionality or accept ads and analytics.

If you accept advertising, ad partners may set or read cookies and similar technologies (including web beacons) to measure ad performance, frequency, fraud prevention signals, and ad relevance.

You can also clear locally stored transcription history, settings, and consent state from your browser at any time.

Security

• HTTPS is used for the site and third-party requests
• Audio transcription happens locally on-device
• No account is required to use the core tool
• We minimize telemetry and avoid sending audio or file names in analytics events

Your choices

• Use essential-only site functionality instead of ads/analytics consent
• Clear browser storage to remove local history and preferences
• Contact us with privacy questions or deletion requests for support emails you sent us directly
