Security and data handling

Your voice goes only where it needs to.

Phrasora was built to put clean text at your cursor and nothing more. No screen scraping, no keystroke logging, no voice profile. Here is exactly what we send, what we never collect, and what you can delete in one step.

What we send · what we never send

The whole data path, in two columns.

What we send

Your audio, for one transcription. When you hold the key and speak, eligible dictations stream over an encrypted connection directly to Soniox for real-time transcription. Other dictations, including durable fallback, go through our backend to Groq.

Bounded dictionary context, for eligible English. An exact-English real-time dictation may include a small panel of your synced dictionary terms, including names or email addresses not spoken in that take, to guide spelling. Other language selections receive no dictionary context.

The transcript, for cleanup. The text is cleaned up by AI on Groq, punctuation, capitalization, filler removal. The cleanup prompt lives on our server and never ships inside a client.

An optional formatting snippet. So your words come out shaped for an email, a chat, or a note, Phrasora can send a short snippet of the field and the app name as a reference. Never from a secure field, never stored, and you can turn it off.

What we never send

No screenshots, no screen recording. Phrasora never captures or watches your screen.

No keystroke logging. What you type with your own keyboard is yours alone.

No content telemetry. We count words to enforce the free tier, counts, never the content of what you dictate.

No reading of other apps.Only the field you’re dictating into, plus the short formatting snippet above.

Phrasora does not ask either speech provider to store your audio or transcript, and does not use their storage or training features. Providers retain limited non-content usage metadata; Groq’s policy also permits temporary content logging for narrow reliability or abuse-investigation cases.

On your device

Some learning never leaves your phone.

The iPhone keyboard learns the words and phrases you type to offer better suggestions, and keeps a small model of which words tend to follow which. That typing memory lives only on your device, it is never synced to our servers and is wiped the moment you sign out.

Your synced dictionary is different: it’s tied to your account so corrections follow you across devices, and it goes away when you delete your account.

Typed-word learning, on device only.

Next-word model, on device only.

Both wiped on sign-out.

Sub-processors

The providers that help run Phrasora.

A short, honest list. Each one does a single job, and none of them receives your card details, those go straight to Stripe (web) or Apple (iOS in-app subscriptions).

Soniox

Real-time speech-to-text for eligible dictations. Audio streams directly from the app using a short-lived credential; eligible exact-English dictations may also include bounded dictionary context. Phrasora does not use Soniox’s optional storage service; Soniox states that real-time content is not retained in that configuration or used for training.

Groq

Batch and fallback speech-to-text, plus text cleanup. Groq states that inference content is not used for training and is not retained by default, subject to its limited policy cases.

Supabase

Accounts, your dictionary, settings, and history. Hosted in Canada.

Ollama Cloud

Background AI that builds your personal writing memory and Refine suggestions, only for your account, never sold.

Stripe

Payment processing for Pro. Your card goes to Stripe directly and never touches our systems.

We also use Vercel to host this website and Resend to deliver sign-in code emails. The full list is in the privacy policy.

Retention and deletion

Keep less. Delete in one step.

Phrasora does not request provider storage for transcription audio. Soniox states that its real-time service does not retain audio or transcript content unless its separate storage service is used; Phrasora does not use that service. Groq states that inference content is not retained by default, subject to limited temporary policy cases. The recordings Phrasora stores are your most recent ones, up to your last fifty, in a private, per-account folder so you can replay them across devices. Older recordings delete automatically, and you can remove any of them yourself.

When you’re done, deleting your account immediately and permanently removes your account, dictionary, settings, history, recordings, and writing memory. Signing out wipes the account data on that device. The single exception is a one-way email hash kept to prevent free-trial abuse.

Common questions

The questions people ask first.

Do you train models on my voice or my text?

No. Phrasora does not use provider storage or training features and never builds a voice profile. Phrasora does not use Soniox's optional storage service; Soniox states that real-time content is not retained in that configuration or used for training. Groq states that inference content is not used for training and is not retained by default, subject to limited reliability and abuse-monitoring cases in its policy. Separately, so you can replay your work, your most recent recordings (up to the last fifty) are saved to a private, per-account folder; older ones delete automatically and you can delete any of them yourself.

Can Phrasora read my screen or other apps?

No. There is no screen capture and no keystroke logging. The only thing Phrasora reads is the field you're actively dictating into, plus an optional short formatting snippet so the text comes out shaped for where it's going. It's never read from a password or secure field.

How long are my recordings kept?

Only your most recent recordings, up to the last fifty, are saved to a private, per-account folder so you can replay them across devices. Older recordings are deleted automatically, and you can delete any of them yourself.

What happens when I delete my account?

Deleting your account immediately and permanently removes your account, dictionary, settings, history, recordings, and writing memory from our systems. In-app deletion also wipes everything stored on that device. The one exception is a one-way email hash kept to prevent free-trial abuse.
