OnlyText turns what was said into text. Recordings stay encrypted until the transcription server decrypts them to transcribe, and are deleted as soon as the text is back.
The device uploads a recording, confirms the text came back, and then deletes the audio from its own card; the transcription server deletes its copy once it is done. What you are left with is a transcript you can search, not an archive you have to guard.
Transcripts can save straight into your own Google Drive. We ask only for access to the files we create there, never permission to read the rest of your drive. If you would rather not use ours at all, you can point the device at a transcription service you run yourself.
Audio is written to the MicroSD card with AES-256, using a key derived from a secret stored in the device at the factory. Take the card out and put it in a reader and you get ciphertext; only the transcription server can decrypt it, to transcribe it. This protects a card that walks off; it is not designed to stop someone who opens the device.
The recorder uploads for transcription on its own. Your phone does not have to be nearby, awake, or holding the file.
Turn it on once and every finished transcript gets a structured summary on top of it.
Custom trigger words mark a moment while you are still talking, and tagged moments can sync to your phone's calendar.
Have transcripts, summaries, or both emailed to you as soon as they are ready.
One file per recording, written to an OnlyText folder in your own drive. Later summaries update the same file.
Run the transcription service on your own machine and the audio goes there instead of to our transcription servers.
Recordings sit on the card as ciphertext from the moment they are written.
