Why professionals switch to Sprecho

Three reasons that keep coming up in our customer conversations.

For lawyers: § 203 StGB doesn't permit US servers

German attorney-client privilege under § 203 StGB makes it a criminal-law issue to send client data to US-controlled cloud services subject to the CLOUD Act. Sprecho keeps every byte in EU-only infrastructure with a documented DPA. Wispr Flow, Otter.ai, and Dragon Cloud don't.

For physicians: patient confidentiality + KIM compatibility

Patient data falls under Art. 9 DSGVO and § 203 StGB. Sprecho runs on your existing Windows-based Praxisverwaltung (Medistar, T2med, x.isynet) without sending audio to US clouds — and works alongside KIM secure messaging.

For consultants: client confidentiality on a Windows fleet

Strategy and management consultants handle client data under NDA — and 80% of German consulting firms run Windows. Sprecho is the only dictation tool that combines Windows + macOS + Linux compatibility with a German legal entity and DSGVO-grade documentation.
