“Users should always let the other person know before you start recording or transcribing a conversation, whether it’s a video call, an in-person meeting, or a phone call,” he said, adding that Wispr intends to build additional features for automated consent messaging “in the coming weeks.”
Wispr doesn’t train its AI models on customer data without consent, though free and standard tier customers must choose to opt-out, according to Wispr’s privacy terms. Nor does it create “voiceprints or biometric profiles” of users or anyone else on a call using audio recording data, the company says.
When Notetaker is active, conversation audio is captured on a user’s device and processed on cloud servers to enable transcription. The recorded audio file is encrypted and stored temporarily on the user’s device or cloud storage, Wispr said. After a limited period, the audio is automatically deleted.
