Local by default.
Cloud when you choose it.

On Free, the speech model and the cleanup model run on your Mac, and your recordings and words stay on it. Pro adds Echotype Cloud: when you use it, your audio and text go to our server and our model provider to be processed. We don't store them. We keep only word and audio-time counts for your plan.

Dictation keeps working without internet once you've signed in and the models are downloaded.

Echotype goes online to download its models, check for updates and show notices. Anonymous usage counts are off unless you turn them on, and never include what you say. If you pick another cloud provider in Settings, it gets your audio or text under its own terms. Privacy Policy

Most dictation apps charge for what your Mac can do.

A Mac with Apple silicon can turn speech into clean text by itself. Echotype's Free plan does that with no word limit. Pro is for the work that needs bigger models.
