We're a small DACH-based team running on lean, pay-as-you-go infrastructure. We pass the savings on. Same class of underlying models — frontier-grade transcription + frontier LLMs — without the venture-scale margins.
Whitespace-separated tokens in the transcribed output. Reshape, Translate, and Fix-grammar quick-actions on already-typed text don't count toward the limit; only voice transcriptions do.
Transmitted over TLS to our API in Germany and transcribed on our own GPU in Germany. Our server deletes your audio as soon as the text is ready. The Kaho app keeps your last 500 recordings on your computer; you can open that folder from the menu bar and delete them. No external AI service and no fallback: your audio and text stay on our infrastructure in Germany. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Yes — our transcription engine handles German fluently, the rewrite/reshape model recognises German vocabulary and brand spellings, and Translate works in any pair. The desktop UI is currently English.
