Does the extension work offline?
An internet connection is required for AI transcription and account sync. The side panel loads your ScribeChrono workspace from our secure servers.
How is my data protected?
Uploads are encrypted in transit, processed in isolation, and not used to train public AI models. You can delete files from your dashboard at any time. See our privacy policy for GDPR details.
