Practice content stays outside the DictationFlow application server.

Scope: the public website and practice tool at dictationflow.com.

1. Practice text and transcription

Text you type or paste into the practice desk is handled in your browser. DictationFlow does not provide an application server endpoint that receives or stores that passage. Text entered in typing mode is also compared with the source in the browser.

If you switch on Remember this session, the passage, position, selected voice, target WPM and related settings may be stored in browser storage on that device. Anyone with access to the same browser profile may be able to see it. You can turn saving off, use Clear, or remove the site’s stored data through browser settings.

2. Speech voices

Speech is produced through the browser’s Web Speech API. The available voices and their processing model are controlled by the browser, operating system and voice provider, not by DictationFlow. Some voices are local; others may use a vendor’s network service. DictationFlow does not receive the passage from that voice service, but the browser or operating system provider may process it under its own terms.

3. File imports and supporting libraries

Supported text files are read in the browser. PDF extraction and English image optical character recognition use PDF and OCR libraries loaded in the browser. The document or image is intended to be processed on the device and is not uploaded to DictationFlow.

Supporting JavaScript, worker files or OCR language data may be downloaded from external content delivery networks. Those network requests can expose ordinary connection data, such as IP address, browser information, time and referring page, to the network provider. The imported file itself is not intentionally included in those library download requests.

4. Website hosting and logs

The static website is hosted on Vercel. When you request a page or asset, Vercel and its infrastructure providers necessarily process connection information such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, time and security related data. Hosting logs may be retained according to Vercel’s configuration and policies. Read the Vercel privacy policy for its practices.

5. Feedback submissions

The feedback page uses FormSubmit, an external form delivery service. When you select Send feedback, the form fields and ordinary request metadata leave your device, are processed by FormSubmit and are delivered to the site maintainer. This is different from the local practice desk. Do not include a private practice passage, passwords or unnecessary personal information.

6. Analytics, advertising and accounts

DictationFlow does not currently provide user accounts, run targeted advertising or intentionally place cross site advertising cookies. Search engines and hosting providers may still provide aggregated discovery or operational information. Your browser, extensions and network may have their own data practices.

7. Children and young users

The practice desk does not require a name, age or account. Young users should not submit personal information through feedback. Where local law requires a parent or guardian to approve use of an external form service, obtain that approval before submitting.

8. Retention and your choices

• Browser storage: remains until you clear it, the browser removes it or the storage is otherwise reset.
• Hosting logs: retained under the hosting provider’s settings and policies.
• Feedback: may remain with FormSubmit and in the maintainer’s delivered messages for as long as needed to respond, prevent abuse or improve the service.

You can use the main practice functions without enabling session restore or sending feedback.

9. Questions and changes

Use the feedback page for a privacy question, but do not include sensitive information. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised date.
