Questions
About IraVoice and Typeless
Does Typeless process voice on-device?
Typeless’s current privacy policy says voice audio and limited contextual information are processed in real time on its cloud servers, then discarded under its zero-retention policy.
Is zero retention the same as local processing?
No. Zero retention describes what the service keeps after processing. Local processing describes where the work happens. Typeless documents cloud processing with zero retention; IraVoice documents on-Mac speech recognition and supported formatting.
Which product supports more languages and devices?
Typeless. It currently advertises 100+ languages across macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. IraVoice is intentionally limited to supported Apple-silicon Macs.
