Transcription that never uploads your audio
Your recordings and transcripts stay on your device. D-REC has no server that receives audio, so there is nothing to leak, hand over or train on.
The useful question to ask a transcription service is whether it receives your audio at all. A promise to keep it private is a policy, and policies change.
D-REC does not receive it. The transcription happens on your device, the audio file is saved on your device, and the transcript sits beside it. There is no upload step to switch off, because there is no upload step. D-REC could not hand over your recordings even if asked, because it never has them.
That matters most when the material is not only yours: a source who agreed to talk to you and not to a vendor, a client, an unreleased script, a negotiation.
An account, if you make one, holds your email address and your plan. It never holds a recording, a transcript, a title, or a word you said.
Speech recognition makes mistakes, so check anything that matters before you rely on it. That is true of every tool like this, on a device or not.

Questions people ask
Where are my recordings saved?
On the device that made them. D-REC has no server that receives audio or transcripts.
Is my speech used to train models?
No. Your speech never reaches D-REC, so it cannot be used for anything.
What does a D-REC account know about me?
Your email address and which plan you are on. Nothing about what you record.
