## What is Arca?

Arca: Private Speech to Text - No Cloud. No Account. Ever.

Arca is a professional-grade transcription tool that runs entirely on your device. No internet required. No data leaves your phone. Ever.
In a world where every voice app sends your audio to the cloud, Arca does the opposite. Your recordings stay on your hardware, encrypted and protected - whether you're a therapist, lawyer, journalist, or anyone who values privacy.
THE ON-DEVICE GUARANTEE

100% Local Processing: Every word is transcribed on your device using on-device machine learning. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is shared.
No Audio Uploads: Your recordings are never sent to a server, never stored in the cloud, and never used to train AI models.
Hardware-Backed Encryption: All transcripts are stored in an encrypted vault, protected by Apple's Secure Enclave.

BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS

Real-Time Transcription: Fast, accurate speech-to-text powered entirely by your device's hardware. No internet needed.
Works Offline: Record and transcribe anywhere - soundproofed offices, remote locations, or in-flight.
Professional PDF Export: Convert transcripts into clean PDF documents with one tap. Send to your record-keeping system or secure storage.
HIPAA & KVKK Ready: Built with technical safeguards to support compliance with international data protection standards.

ZERO FRICTION

No Account Required: Open the app and start. No email, no sign-up, no personal data collected.
Arca Plus: Unlimited transcription for professionals who need it daily. One subscription, no usage caps.
Easy Restore: Your subscription is linked to your Apple ID. Switch devices or reinstall without losing access.
