Whisper transcription is used only as a fallback when Apple recognition is unavailable. Audio, transcripts, translations, and summaries are not sent to developer-operated servers. Apple models may need preparation on first use; once ready on a supported device, available core features can work without an internet connection. High Quality translation and summaries require an Apple Intelligence–compatible device and ready models. In the free version, translation, summaries, and saving pause for one minute after every five minutes of microphone use.
