Questions to answer before uploading personal, business, legal, medical, or customer audio.
Last updated: 2026-06-29 · 7 min read
Confirm permission and purpose
Before uploading, ask whether you have the right to process the audio and why the transcript is needed. A personal reminder is different from a client call, medical discussion, or legal recording.
If someone else’s voice is included, consider whether consent or notice is required before processing or sharing the transcript.
Control the transcript after download
Once you copy or download text, it becomes easy to paste into chats, documents, and email. Review where you store it and who can access it.
Delete transcripts you no longer need, especially if they contain customer details, addresses, health information, financial information, or private conversations.
Recommendations
- Avoid uploading sensitive audio just to test the product.
- Use short clips containing only the speech you need.
- Keep transcript access limited after download.
Limitations
- VoiceNoteToText cannot control where you paste or store downloaded transcripts.
- Privacy requirements vary by country, organization, and recording context.
