Privacy Notice (DSGVO / GDPR):

The Web Speech API transmits recorded audio to an external cloud service for speech-to-text processing. The specific service depends on the browser (e.g. Google Cloud for Chrome, Microsoft Azure for Edge). The audio data leaves the user's device and is processed on third-party servers.

When deploying this functionality, the data controller must inform users about this data transfer in a privacy policy (Datenschutzerklärung) in accordance with Art. 13 DSGVO. This includes identifying the recipient of the audio data, the purpose of processing, and the legal basis. Failure to do so constitutes a DSGVO violation.
