Google Workspace Marketplace

Transparency, security & data use

ScribeChrono only requests the Google permissions required to show its sidebar and insert transcription results into documents you choose.

Frequently asked questions

Is the add-on GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Your audio is not used to train public models. Files and transcripts are encrypted, kept under your account, and can be deleted anytime from your dashboard.

Which file types are supported?

Most common audio (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG) and video (MP4, MOV, WEBM) formats. Video audio is extracted automatically before transcription.

Why does Google ask for permissions on first use?

This is standard for Workspace add-ons. ScribeChrono needs document access to insert text and a sidebar to show the upload interface — nothing beyond what is listed on this page.
