The Cloud Storage Problem
Cloud-based transcription services store your audio on remote servers, creating compliance risks, security vulnerabilities, and potential data breaches.
Why Zero Cloud Storage Matters
- NDA Compliance: No audio stored means no violation of confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Protection: Eliminates risks under two‑party consent laws and wiretapping statutes.
- Data Sovereignty: Your data never leaves your device – you retain full control.
- Security: No cloud servers to hack, no data in transit to intercept.
