Where your audio goes
Audio is deleted within 24 hours. Transcripts are never used to train AI.
The path of a file
- Your browser first prepares the file on your device: it reads the length and, for video, pulls out the audio track. Nothing is uploaded yet.
- The audio goes straight from your browser to Cloudflare R2 storage over an encrypted connection. It does not pass through our servers.
- We give Soniox, our transcription provider, a time-limited link to the file so it can fetch the audio and return text.
- When the transcript comes back, we delete the copy at Soniox right away.
- Within 24 hours of the transcript being done, the audio is deleted from R2. Audio waiting for payment is kept at most 7 days.
Not used to train AI
Your audio and transcripts are never used to train AI — not by us, and not by Soniox, whose API terms exclude customer content from model training.
