Security Overview

TalkWriter is built with a security-first approach. Your voice data and dictated text are protected at every stage, from the moment you speak to the moment your words appear on screen.

Core Security Principles

1. Zero audio retention — Your voice recordings are never stored. Audio is processed in real-time and immediately discarded.
2. End-to-end encryption — All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
3. Minimal data collection — We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide the service.
4. Privacy by default — No data sharing, no ad tracking, no third-party analytics on your content.
5. User control — You can enable Privacy Mode to prevent even temporary text processing on our servers.
