Privacy
Dictovo is built around local voice processing.
This page is the plain-language privacy position for the desktop app. Current builds keep speech and dictated text on your device. Optional anonymous product telemetry can be disabled in Settings. A minimal daily installation-presence check sends only a hashed random device ID, platform and version metadata; never dictated audio or text.
Who owns the dictated text?
The user or organization using Dictovo owns the dictated text. Dictovo behaves like a local productivity utility, not a hosted content workspace.
Is audio uploaded for transcription?
No. Audio is recorded in memory, transcribed locally on supported Mac and Windows devices, and discarded. It is not written to disk and it is not sent for hosted transcription.
What network traffic exists?
The app downloads local language files from trusted sources on first setup and when a world language is selected. License validation and a minimal daily installation-presence check send only a hashed random device ID, platform and version metadata, never audio, dictated text, account data or contact content.
Does Dictovo act on dictated text?
Dictovo does not click, send, browse or run workflows by itself. The core transcribes speech into text and inserts that text into the active field. Optional local modes can clean up, translate or transform selected text when explicitly triggered.
What should businesses know?
Dictovo is intended for teams that want a faster writing workflow while reducing unnecessary exposure of client names, internal planning, sensitive notes, and unfinished thinking.
How does website analytics work?
The website uses Ahrefs Web Analytics for aggregated page, referrer, browser, device and approximate location reporting without cookies or persistent identifiers. Ahrefs states that raw IP addresses are discarded and not stored. Google and advertising tags remain disabled until you accept marketing analytics through Cookie settings.
Who makes Dictovo?
Dictovo is made by Altern Media in the Netherlands. Altern Media is KvK registered; the public launch site does not publish a KvK number until it is confirmed for display.
