Why we use Google

Cloud features (transcription, AI prompting, text-to-speech) use Google’s Gemini API. You can either enter your own API key or sign in with your Google account so the app can request access to Gemini on your behalf. We use your data only to provide these features and do not sell or share it with third parties.
