## FAQ

### Is Wispr Flow GDPR-compliant?
Wispr Flow acknowledges EU data rights in its privacy policy, but all voice data is processed on US servers. As a US-incorporated company, Wispr Flow is subject to the CLOUD Act — meaning US authorities can demand access to your data regardless of any privacy settings. Their 'Privacy Mode' only covers dictation content; account data, usage metadata, and analytics remain stored on US servers.

### Which voice dictation app works in Germany without sending data to the US?
Sprecho is the only cross-platform voice dictation app that is both built by a German company (Melo Designer GmbH) and hosted on German servers (STRATO), with GPU inference at Media Trooper (Germany/Netherlands). No US entity exists anywhere in the data processing chain.

### Is voice data considered biometric data under GDPR?
Yes. When voice data is processed for identification purposes, it's classified as biometric data under GDPR Article 9 — the highest protection category. This requires explicit consent, a DPIA, and strict storage limitations.

### How much does Sprecho cost compared to Wispr Flow?
Sprecho Pro costs €12.99/month or €10.99/month billed yearly (€131.88/year). Wispr Flow costs approximately €15/month or €12/month yearly (~€144/year). For enterprises, Sprecho offers transparent volume pricing from €9.51/seat/month (200+ seats). Wispr Flow hides enterprise pricing behind a sales wall.

### Can I use Wispr Flow as a doctor or lawyer in Germany?
Using US-cloud voice dictation tools for client data carries serious legal risk. Professional secrecy (§203 StGB), BRAO, and medical data regulations require data sovereignty that US companies under the CLOUD Act cannot guarantee.

### Can German municipalities use Wispr Flow?
Most German municipalities have policies prohibiting US cloud services for citizen data. Wispr Flow would not pass a typical DPIA for public administration. Sprecho, as a German company on German servers, is the compliant alternative.

### Does Wispr Flow capture screenshots of my screen?
Yes. Wispr Flow captures screenshots of your active window for context-aware dictation. Sprecho achieves context awareness without capturing screenshots.

### Why doesn't hosting on EU servers make a US company GDPR-compliant?
The US CLOUD Act requires US companies to hand over data to US law enforcement regardless of server location. True GDPR compliance requires both the company AND the infrastructure to be under EU jurisdiction.
