Footnotes

  1. LOKAL can help you manage privacy by reducing the need to send audios to third-parties and allowing you to run transcriptions while momentarily offline. Having said that, LOKAL is not a guarantee of privacy, and you accept this when agreeing to the terms and conditions and by using LOKAL. ↩
