Vocal Notes

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-04-16

Vocal Notes is a macOS transcription app that can record live speech or import audio and video files to create transcripts on your Mac.

Data collection

Vocal Notes does not include analytics, advertising, account creation, or third-party tracking. TychoSpot does not sell your personal data.

Local processing

Speech transcription runs locally on your Mac. Your recordings, imported files, transcripts, custom vocabulary, and exports stay on your device unless you choose to share them.

Permissions

Vocal Notes asks for microphone access for live transcription and Quick Dictation. If you use Type into other apps, macOS may also require Accessibility permission so the app can insert text into the current app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
