Why your audio shouldn't be uploaded (and how we avoid it)

June 14, 2026

When you transcribe a recording, the default with most tools is to upload the entire file — often a multi-gigabyte video — to a server you don’t control. That’s slow, and it means your raw footage now lives somewhere else.

Hushscript takes a different approach. Your browser extracts and compresses the audio before anything is uploaded, so the original video never leaves your device. Only a small audio file is sent for transcription, and it’s deleted the moment your transcript is ready. The speech engine keeps nothing.

For interviews, legal recordings, and anything confidential, that difference matters.
