Privacy by design, not by policy
Most dictation apps promise privacy in their policy, then send your voice to cloud servers. VoicePad AI is different:
- Zero data collection — We can't collect what we never receive. Your voice stays on your device.
- No cloud processing — Whisper AI runs 100% locally. No server ever hears you.
- No account required — Use VoicePad AI without creating an account or providing email.
- No telemetry — We don't track what you dictate, when, or how often.
- Offline by default — The app works without internet. Can't leak what can't connect.
