Privacy stays part of the workflow
Hushscript is built for recordings you do not want floating around. The privacy model stays simple and visible.
-
Your video never uploads; browser-side extraction sends only audio.
-
Audio is deleted after the transcript is saved, and retention controls let you auto-delete transcripts.
-
The AI neither trains on nor stores your data. All transcripts are encrypted at rest.
-
Private mode skips saved transcripts and post-processing AI, then returns a password-protected archive.

Why Hushscript
Private by design
Video stays on your device, transcription audio isn't kept after processing, transcripts and AI artifacts are encrypted at rest, retention controls are built in, and private mode can return a password-protected archive without saving the transcript.
No subscription
Pay as you go: prepaid minutes only when you need them, from about a penny a minute. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Honest free: 30 minutes, no watermark
30 free minutes, once, to try the real thing: add a card (a $1 hold, released right away) or pay another way and they arrive with your first purchase. A card isn't required.
Free speaker labels
Every transcript separates who said what, automatically. Not a paid add-on.
