What happens to your recording
- You upload a file, or paste a public link.
- Large videos are compressed on your own device first, so only a small audio file is sent.
- The audio is converted to text.
- The audio is deleted from the server as soon as the text is produced.
- Your records keep the text and the article — not the recording.
What stays in your account
Text, article drafts and their settings, shown in Records. Re-open, export or rewrite any of them — including in another language.
Using AI responsibly in a newsroom
- Verify everything you quote. Timestamps take you to the exact second.
- Follow your newsroom's disclosure policy.
- Think before uploading sensitive material. If a recording could identify a vulnerable source, follow your organisation's security guidance first.
- Public links only. Respect each platform's terms and your standards for user-generated content.
- Understanding a video is not authenticating it. Verify the account, date and footage independently.
