Dictivo starts local because most dictation should feel private by default. Cloud Fast is visible because it changes where audio is processed.
The everyday path for private work, sensitive notes, client conversations, and personal drafting.
A separate speed path for low-sensitivity recordings where waiting would break your flow.
Use Local when words are private. Use Cloud Fast for low-sensitivity work when waiting breaks your flow.
