DictaFlow can dictate offline on your device, while its cloud dictation and AI cleanup send your words online. With Bedrock Dictate, both the speech recognition and Auto-edit run on your PC, so nothing you say is uploaded.
Bedrock Dictate is built local first. Your dictation history is saved on your PC, and your vocabulary, snippets and styles are backed up to your account so they follow you to a new PC. Your recordings and your words are never part of that.
