No account
SaidInk does not require a login or shared workspace.
Private transcription
Private transcription without sending audio to SaidInk.
SaidInk is designed for sensitive recordings: local files, local transcription after SaidInk Local AI installation, no SaidInk account, no analytics SDKs, and user-controlled exports.
No analytics SDKs
The MVP build avoids advertising, analytics, and tracking SDKs.
SaidInk Local AI
Transcription runs locally after SaidInk Local AI is installed.
Privacy boundary
Local-first does not mean pretending the internet never exists.
SaidInk's product promise is specific: it does not upload your audio or transcripts to a SaidInk server for transcription. Recordings, transcript edits, bookmarks, and local settings are stored on the device.
Network access can still happen for user-requested SaidInk Local AI installation, download manifest and checksum validation, Apple StoreKit purchases and restores, explicit Apple system services, and the public website or support email you choose to use.
What stays local
The transcript workflow is built around your device.
Audio and transcripts
Recordings, imported audio, extracted audio, transcript rows, edits, and bookmarks live as local app data.
Local AI files
SaidInk offers Fast, Balanced, and Accurate quality options. Local AI files download only after the user starts the installation.
Exports
You choose where exported TXT, timestamped TXT, bookmarked TXT, SRT, or WebVTT files go through iOS sharing.
Deletion
Settings includes local storage controls for deleting recordings, transcripts, Local AI files, and app-local state.
Good for
Sensitive interviews, research, notes, and drafts.
Privacy matters most when the recording includes sources, students, clients, unreleased material, personal notes, or anything that should not be copied into a generic cloud transcript workspace.
Precise claim
Not a vague "no data" slogan.
Purchases, support email, SaidInk Local AI installation, and website hosting have their own metadata boundaries. The important line is that SaidInk does not collect your audio or transcripts for cloud transcription.
