Where does Dictation recorders store its recordings?

Do I need to install anything?
No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.
Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?
No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.
How accurate is the transcription?
Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.
