Security and privacy at blablaType: where your voice goes

Dictation in the desktop app

When you hold the key and speak, audio travels over an encrypted connection to our server and is passed on for recognition. We use Groq and OpenAI as speech recognition subprocessors. The audio is needed only for the moment of recognition and we do not store it.

The free web widget

The widget on the home page runs on your browser's built-in recognition: Chrome or Edge sends the audio to Google's speech service and returns the text. Our servers never see that audio at all. That is why the widget is free and why its quality is basic.

File transcription

An uploaded file is processed on our server and recognition is handled by our subprocessor Groq. The finished text is returned to you and the audio is not kept after processing.

Encryption and subprocessors

All data travels over encrypted HTTPS connections. Recognition happens on a server and we say so plainly, without loud marketing promises. The subprocessors we work with: Groq and OpenAI for speech recognition, Google for browser recognition in the web widget, and LemonSqueezy for payments.
