Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
Your voice and your text stay on your device. DictaPure has no servers that receive audio, no accounts and no analytics inside the extension. We collect nothing.
Audio
DictaPure uses your microphone only while you dictate, after you allow it. Speech is recognized by the on-device speech recognition built into Google Chrome. Audio is processed on your computer and is not sent to us or to any server. We do not record or store audio.
To recognize speech on your device, Chrome downloads a speech model for your language once. Chrome performs this download from Google; it contains no audio or personal data from you.
Text
Recognized text is inserted into the text field you are editing. To decide whether the next word needs a capital letter or a space, DictaPure looks at a few characters before the cursor. This happens on your device. We do not collect, store or transmit what you dictate or what is on the page.
Settings
Your settings (language, microphone, shortcut mode) and a simple count of dictations, used only to ask you once for a store review, are saved in your browser’s extension storage. If you use Chrome Sync, Chrome may sync them between your own devices. We have no access to them.
Data we collect
None. We do not sell or share data, because we do not have any.
Permissions the extension uses
- Microphone — to hear you while you dictate. Requested once, from the extension’s own setup page.
- Access to the pages you visit — to show the dictation button next to a text field and insert text at your cursor. DictaPure does not read or send page content.
- Storage — to remember your settings.
- Offscreen document — runs speech recognition in the background, inside the extension.
