Steps
iPhone
- The microphone permission is asked the first time you tap the mic; if you'd rather not, don't allow it and type instead.
- To change it later, open iPhone Settings → Apps → Brizemi.
- Turn Microphone and Speech Recognition on or off.
Android
- The microphone permission is asked the first time you tap the mic; if you'd rather not, don't allow it and type instead.
- To change it later, open Android Settings → Apps → Brizemi → Permissions.
- Tap Microphone and allow or remove it.
- On iPhone, iOS turns your speech into text on the iPhone itself. On Android, Android's on-device speech recognition does it (Android 12 and later); cloud recognition is never used.
- Audio is never written to a file and never sent to us or anyone else.
- The first time, iOS or Android may download the speech model for your language once from Apple or Google. That download carries none of your voice.
- Cards are then made from the text on your phone too.
- On iPhone, the text of a Brain dump is deleted once you accept the plan, or after 24 hours at most.
You never have to use the microphone: you can type the same things, and everything else works the same.
