Question 1

Which voice dictation software is DSGVO-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Sprecho is built in Germany under a German legal entity (Melo Designer GmbH), with all infrastructure hosted on EU-only servers (Hetzner, Falkenstein), a documented Data Processing Agreement (AVV / DPA), and a public subprocessor list. No US-owned dictation product currently meets the same standard.

Question 2

Is Sprecho really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every account gets a Sprecho Free subscription with 2,000 words per week, forever — no credit card required, no time limit. The 14-day trial of Sprecho Pro is for unlocking unlimited dictations and team features; the app itself remains usable on Free indefinitely.

Question 3

What's the difference between Sprecho Free and Sprecho Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free includes all core dictation features, all platforms, full DSGVO compliance, and 2,000 words per week. Pro removes the word limit, adds team workspaces and SSO, unlocks the full vocabulary library, and is required for enterprise seat-based pricing.

Question 4

Does Sprecho work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Sprecho ships native installers for Windows 10/11, macOS 10.15+, and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora). Most of our German enterprise customers run Windows (DATEV, RA-MICRO, Medistar fleets). Mac-only competitors like Superwhisper and MacWhisper aren't viable for those teams.

Question 5

How do I switch from Wispr Flow to Sprecho?

Accepted Answer

Download Sprecho, sign in, and remap your keyboard shortcut. There's no data to migrate because Wispr Flow stores dictionary entries client-side. We're working on a one-click import for custom vocabulary — DM us if you'd like early access.

Question 6

Is voice data biometric under GDPR?

Accepted Answer

Yes — voice recordings can be classified as biometric data under Art. 9 GDPR when used for identification purposes, and the EDPB has issued guidance treating voiceprints as 'special category' data. This is why server location and CLOUD Act exposure matter so much for European businesses.

Question 7

What does Sprecho cost for a team of 50 / 100 / 200 seats?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise pricing scales down with team size: €107.88 net/seat/year at 50–99 seats, €95.88/seat/year at 100–199 seats, and €83.88/seat/year at 200+ seats. All figures are netto (VAT extra). Includes SSO, central billing, and a dedicated success manager.

Question 8

How well does Sprecho recognise German Fachsprache (DATEV, RA-MICRO, Medistar)?

Accepted Answer

We train and tune on German professional vocabulary specifically — including the standard term lists from DATEV (tax advisors), RA-MICRO (legal), and the most common Praxisverwaltung systems for physicians. Customers who switched from Wispr Flow report markedly higher accuracy on these domains.

Question 9

Where is my voice data processed?

Accepted Answer

All transcription happens on EU-only infrastructure: Hetzner data centres in Falkenstein and Nuremberg, Germany. Audio is encrypted in transit, never leaves European servers, and is not sent to any US-based AI provider. We do not currently offer fully offline / on-device transcription — Sprecho runs in the cloud, but that cloud is in the EU.
