The problem with cloud transcription

"60,000+ freelance transcriptionists at Rev can access your files — anyone with a confidentiality agreement can see sensitive recordings."

Descript uses Amazon Mechanical Turk workers who listen to voice samples. No standard 2FA.

"Free transcription tools present hidden risks: users may not realize their data fuels the vendor's business model."

Mumbl is private by architecture, not by policy. Your audio physically cannot leave your device because there is no cloud component.

Private by architecture, not by policy. That's what sold me. Mumbl physically can't send my audio anywhere because there's nowhere for it to go. Try verifying that with any cloud tool.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know it's actually private?

Mumbl processes audio using Whisper AI that runs on your device. There is no network call, no API endpoint, no server to send data to. You can verify this by using Mumbl completely offline — it works the same way.

What's the difference between "private by policy" and "private by architecture"?

Private by policy means a company promises not to look at your data (but technically could). Private by architecture means the system physically cannot access your data because it never leaves your device. Mumbl is the latter.

Do you collect any data at all?

Mumbl collects nothing. No audio, no transcripts, no metadata, no usage analytics from the transcription process. The app runs locally and that's it.
