  • Webex

  • Recorded and transcribed on your devices
  • Audio never uploaded
  • Locked with keys only you hold

Your audio stays yours.

Recorded and transcribed on your own devices, and never uploaded. What MasterTells keeps is locked with keys only your devices hold, and it never trains AI on your conversations.

Summary AI: uploads audio to its cloud and sends it to transcription providers.
