OS-Scribe recording consent

Last updated: June 12, 2026

1. Overview

June includes dictation and meeting note features powered by OS-Scribe that record and transcribe audio from your microphone. These features are designed to help you capture and organize information from conversations, meetings, and voice notes. This notice explains how recording works, where data is stored, and your responsibilities regarding consent.

2. How recording works

When you activate dictation or meeting notes, June captures audio from your selected microphone. The audio is processed locally on your device. Transcription is performed either on-device or through our private model routing layer, depending on your settings and hardware capabilities. The resulting transcript is stored on your local disk and is not sent to OpenSoftware servers.

3. Data stays on your device

Audio recordings and transcripts generated by OS-Scribe are stored locally on your computer. OpenSoftware does not have access to your recordings or transcripts. They are not uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties unless you explicitly choose to do so.

4. Your consent responsibilities

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate consent before recording any conversation. Recording laws vary by jurisdiction:

  • One-party consent jurisdictions: At least one participant in the conversation (which can be you) must consent to the recording.
  • All-party (two-party) consent jurisdictions: All participants in the conversation must consent to the recording before it begins.

It is your responsibility to know and comply with the recording consent laws that apply in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of other participants. If you are unsure about the applicable law, you should obtain consent from all participants before recording.

5. Meeting notifications

June may automatically detect when a meeting begins on your computer and offer to take notes. This is a convenience feature, not a substitute for obtaining consent. Before recording a meeting, you should inform all participants that the conversation will be recorded and transcribed.

6. Best practices

  • Announce at the start of a meeting that you are using an automated note-taking tool
  • Ask participants for verbal consent before beginning recording
  • For formal meetings, include a notice in the calendar invite or meeting agenda
  • Check your organization's policies on meeting recording before using this feature in a work context
  • Delete recordings and transcripts when they are no longer needed

7. Law enforcement and legal process

Because recordings and transcripts are stored on your device, OpenSoftware cannot access or produce them in response to legal process. If law enforcement seeks your recordings, they would need to obtain them directly from you or your device, subject to your rights under applicable law.
