Lumen Trust Notes
Descript
All media is uploaded and processed on Descript's cloud; no offline or self-hosted editing option is available. The text-based editing paradigm is a genuine innovation that makes professional video editing accessible to non-technical users, reflecting strong purpose. Recommended for content creators and communications teams; note that Overdub voice cloning requires explicit consent from the voice owner before training.
Wispr Flow
Wispr Flow processes speech in the cloud rather than fully on-device, so data sovereignty is limited unless Privacy Mode is on and cloud sync is disabled. Enterprise customers get stronger guarantees (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, enforced Privacy Mode, SSO). The free tier and broad device support improve access, but unlimited dictation requires a paid plan. Suitable for everyday writing and coding workflows; treat sensitive dictation like any cloud voice service and enable Privacy Mode for confidential content.
