AI Hear utilizes OpenAI Whisper, a privacy protection technology developed by OpenAI to ensure user data privacy and security:

Tiny: Set as the default, prioritizing speed while maintaining moderate accuracy. With its swift translation capabilities, it’s ideal for fast-paced interactions where immediate transcription is crucial.
Base or Small: Keeps transcription delay under 1 second with better accuracy.
Larger Models: Provides a transcription delay of about 5 seconds, ideal for recording and reviewing later with excellent accuracy.

AI Hear collects audio from your MacBook and transcribes it using local processing, ensuring your privacy. You can customize the audio source:

System Audio: Captures all system sounds, including browser, app music, video players, and macOS system sounds.
Microphone: Captures audio through a connected microphone, ideal for recording spoken words.
Specific Application: Select a specific app (e.g., Safari, Google Chrome, Zoom). Only audio from the selected app is recorded and transcribed, even when muted.
