SimplyTalk was built from the ground up to keep your data where it belongs: on your machine. No cloud processing, no third-party servers, no data collection of any kind.
Every step of the dictation process happens on your hardware. Here is the technical breakdown.
Your microphone audio is captured in a temporary memory buffer while you hold the hotkey. The audio exists only in RAM. It is never written to disk, never saved as a file, and never queued for transmission.
The Moonshine voice model runs entirely on your CPU. It is bundled with the application. It does not phone home, does not download updates, and does not require an internet connection to function.
The transcribed text is injected at the system level, directly into whatever application has focus. It uses the same mechanism as a keyboard. No clipboard interception, no paste events, no side channels.
After transcription, the audio buffer is released from memory. No recording is saved. No transcript is logged. No metadata is stored. The operation leaves zero trace on your system.
SimplyTalk makes no network requests at all. There is no account, no license activation, and no server check. Once installed, the application never contacts any server. No updates, no pings, no heartbeats. Disconnect your internet and it works exactly the same.
Attorney-client privilege demands that privileged communications never touch third-party infrastructure. SimplyTalk ensures ABA Rule 1.6 compliance.
Patient data governed by HIPAA never leaves the provider's machine. No BAA needed because there is no business associate in the chain.
Deal terms, investment theses, and material non-public information stay on the machine where they belong. Zero SEC exposure from third-party handling.
