Privacy policy

The short version: your video is never uploaded, we do not ask you to create an account, and the transcription tool itself stores nothing on your device. Two cookies are set, and both are Google Analytics'. This site is paid for by advertising, and the ad networks that serve those ads are third parties that may set their own cookies on your device.

Your video and your audio

Your file is read by your browser and decoded on your own device. It is not sent anywhere. The tool has no server that accepts a video: the site is a set of static files, and the speech-recognition model is downloaded into your browser and runs there. Nothing you transcribe is stored on our side, because there is no "our side" to store it on.

The transcript is produced in your browser's memory. It exists until you close or reload the tab, unless you download it.

What this site stores on your device

The tool itself stores nothing. The script that does the transcription has no use for local storage, session storage, IndexedDB or cache storage, and writes none of them — measured, its source contains no reference to any of the four. There is nothing to sign into and no preference that needs remembering, so there is nothing for it to save.

Two cookies are set, and they are Google's, not ours. Every page carries a Google Analytics tag (measurement ID G-08L01VH7WF), and that tag writes _ga and _ga_08L01VH7WF on .getigtranscript.com. Measured on a clean browser profile, those two are the only cookies a first visit creates. They hold a randomly generated client identifier and the state Google uses to tell one visit from the next; they carry nothing you typed, nothing you transcribed and nothing about the file you chose. Blocking them, or using a browser that clears them, does not affect the transcription tool.

Your browser may keep its own copy of the page files and of the model files you have downloaded, the same way it caches any website. That cache is on your device and is controlled by your browser settings.

What your browser downloads from other companies

• cdn.jsdelivr.net — serves the speech-recognition library (Transformers.js).
• huggingface.co — serves the model files the first time you use a model. These are large; your browser caches them, so later visits do not download them again.
• www.googletagmanager.com — serves the Google Analytics tag that counts page views and writes the two _ga cookies described above.
• static.cloudflareinsights.com — Cloudflare, who host this site, add a small page-view script at the edge. It counts page views. It does not see your video or your transcript.
• ad.admitad.com and cdn.admitad-connect.com — the advertising network, which serves the banner image and counts that it was shown. This request is made when a page with a banner on it loads.

Requests to those services are made by your browser, so they can see your IP address and your browser's user-agent string, as any web request can.

Advertising

This site is free and is paid for by advertising. The banner ads on this site are served through Admitad, an affiliate network. The advertiser shown in the current banner is InVideo. Serving an ad, Admitad may:

• set cookies or use similar identifiers on your device;
• read your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
• use information about your visits to this and other sites to choose which ads you see.

That activity is carried out by Admitad and by the advertiser, not by us. We do not receive your video, your transcript or your identity from them. Their own policies explain what they do with what they collect:

• Admitad privacy policy
• InVideo privacy policy

To opt out of interest-based advertising across the networks that take part in the industry schemes, use the one for your region: Your Online Choices (Europe) or YourAdChoices (United States).

You can also limit this behaviour through your browser: blocking third-party cookies, using a private window, or installing an ad blocker. Blocking ads does not stop the transcription tool from working — the tool runs entirely on your device and does not depend on ads being shown.

Ads are the only third-party content placed in the body of these pages. The banner image carries its own width and height, so the space it needs is reserved before it loads rather than pushing the text down when it appears.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from them. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to submit.

Your choices

• You can use the tool with third-party cookies blocked. It will still work.
• You can refuse the Google Analytics cookies with Google's own opt-out add-on, or by blocking www.googletagmanager.com in your browser. The site keeps working; only the page count changes.
• You can clear the files your browser cached at any time through your browser's settings.
• You can close the tab to discard a transcript before downloading it.

Changes to this policy

If what the site does changes — for example when a specific ad network goes live, or if analytics beyond page counts are added — this page will be updated and the date below will change.
