Yes. The free tier uses your device's own speech engine and works with no internet at all. The free Enhancement Pack adds on-device AI cleanup and translation, which also run fully offline once downloaded. Only the cloud tier needs a connection, because it sends audio to a managed transcription service for best-in-class accuracy.

Audio is processed and immediately discarded. Nothing is stored, backed up, or logged. On the free and Enhancement Pack tiers the audio never leaves your device; on the cloud tier it is processed and dropped, not retained on a server. There is no background recording and no hidden upload.

Not by default. History is off until you explicitly turn it on, so every dictation is ephemeral out of the box. When you do enable history, your text is stored encrypted and tied to your account, and you can delete any item — or wipe everything — at any time. You stay in control of what is kept.

The free tier uses your operating system's speech engine, which is very good for major languages. The cloud tier uses OpenAI Whisper for the best accuracy across accents and noisy audio. Whichever tier you use, you can teach the phonetic dictionary your names, brands, and terms so they come out right every time. The raw-plus-clean view also lets you catch anything that slipped before you send.

Yes. Unlimited on-device dictation is free forever, with no weekly word cap and no account required to start. The Enhancement Pack is a free one-time download that adds AI cleanup, styles, and offline translation. An optional cloud subscription adds best-in-class accuracy and 150+ cloud languages; its pricing will be announced at launch. You can use KoeDraft fully without ever paying.

Yes. History is off by default and can stay off permanently. With it disabled, every dictation is ephemeral — the text exists only long enough for you to copy, share, or insert it, and nothing is written to storage. This is the recommended setting if you handle sensitive material.

Go to Settings, then Privacy. From there you can delete a single session, wipe all history at once, delete your account along with all associated data, or export your data to keep a copy. The controls are direct and immediate — no support ticket required to remove your own information.

Roughly 70+ languages on the free on-device tier, around 99 with the Enhancement Pack, and 150+ on the cloud tier. The app includes a searchable language picker so you can find and set yours quickly. Exact coverage depends on your device and operating system version for the on-device tiers.

Yes — speak in one language and get text in another, which is unusual in this category. Translation covers 59 pairs on the free tier, 140+ with the Enhancement Pack, and 150+ on the cloud tier. It works inside the same flow as dictation, so you review the raw and translated output before anything is used.

The KoeDraft system keyboard, which lets you dictate and insert into any app, and a floating mic bubble are both coming soon. Today you can dictate in the app and copy or share the result into wherever you need it. When the keyboard ships, cross-app voice insertion will work without leaving the app you're writing in.

Most dictation tools mishear unusual names, then an AI cleanup step "corrects" them into something wrong. KoeDraft protects your terms with a two-pass phonetic dictionary. After you fix a name once, it offers to remember it, so the word is shielded from both the speech engine's mishearing and the AI's over-correction. Your names stay your names.

You can, with sensible precautions. Use the Literal rewrite strength so the text is cleaned but not reworded, or run in a local-only privacy mode so nothing leaves the device. History is off by default, keeping notes ephemeral. As with any dictation tool, always verify critical text before sending. Formal compliance certifications are on the roadmap, not yet claimed.
