I would add, allowing the ability to keep the audio on device is all we ask. It hits the device, saves, goes to transcription and then gets deleted on server. That would be everything I need. At this point I am using 2 devices just so I can also have audio saved. For my job, knowing the words that were said via transcripts is one thing, but being able to hear how something was said is just as important. Reading someones words "I'm dying" sounds scary, but if they were laughing and said "I'm dying" meaning they were laughing very hard would be an important distinction. Additionally, being able to reference voices and voice tones is super important when taking care of children. The app cannot distinguish multiple 3 and 4 year olds. Being able to go back and review who said what would be incredibly helpful. 3rd use, capturing my own child's voice.

Having access to the audio, and the ability to edit transcripts and regenerate summaries is great for when the transcript is not correct. It’s very useful to be able to know what was said, versus what the STT client thought was said. And, until diarization is a real thing, it’s very useful to be able to listen to the audio so you can verify WHO said something.

Being able to save them to our phone would be incredibly helpful.

There are many AI devices that record audio, what sets Fieldy apart is that it does not. Not storing audio is not a design flaw, it is a feature that many users are looking for. The fact that the developers had the ability to record audio from the start and chose not to tells me they care about our privacy. If Fieldy starts recording audio I for one won’t be using it.

I feel like the reason this can’t be done is for the HIPAA and legal stuff that Fieldy is currently capable of because of the way it processes our audio.

Correct me if I’m wrong, please!!!
