Your voice never leaves your device. Scrivox processes all audio locally using on-device AI models. No recordings, transcripts, or personal data are ever sent to our servers or any third party.

3 AI Models & Language Packs
Scrivox uses two types of on-device AI models for speech recognition:
- Base speech engine — OpenAI Whisper, an open-source model licensed under the MIT License. Downloaded automatically on first launch (~75 MB). Supports 71 languages including English, Spanish, French, and more.
- Indian language packs — Fine-tuned Whisper models for Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Gujarati, developed by vasista22 (IIT Madras) and licensed under the MIT License. These are optional and downloaded only when you choose to in Settings (~240–350 MB each).
All model files are downloaded over HTTPS — the base engine from HuggingFace (huggingface.co) and Indian language packs from GitHub Releases (github.com). Once installed, all models work entirely offline. No audio or transcript data is ever sent anywhere during transcription.
During a model download, the respective server (HuggingFace or GitHub) will receive your IP address as part of a standard HTTPS request. No audio, recordings, or personal data is transmitted. These downloads are governed by HuggingFace's Privacy Policy and GitHub's Privacy Policy.
4 Microphone Permission
Scrivox requests microphone access solely to record audio when you tap the record button. Audio is:
- Captured only while you are actively recording
- Processed on-device by the Whisper AI model
- Stored as a local file on your device
- Never transmitted over the internet
You can revoke permission anytime in Settings → Apps → Scrivox → Permissions.
5 Advertising (Free Tier)
The free version displays banner ads served by Google AdMob. Google may collect data to serve personalised ads, including advertising ID, approximate location, and device information. See Google Privacy Policy. Upgrading to Premium removes all ads.
6 In-App Purchases
Premium purchases are processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We receive only a transaction confirmation — we never see or store your payment details.
7 Data Retention & Deletion
All recordings and transcripts are stored on your device and fully under your control:
- Delete individual recordings inside the app
- Clear all data via Settings → Clear All Recordings
- Uninstalling the app removes all app data
8 Children's Privacy
Scrivox is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9 Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
