What can the AI do?
In the current Windows Personal preview, Draft with AI proposes a note, Ask AI answers questions about the current transcript, and Generate with AI proposes an editable mind map with transcript evidence. You review the results. These features use your own OpenAI API key.
Can WordHeld work offline?
Local transcription works offline after the speech model is downloaded. Local drafts, editing, maps and library search do not require cloud AI. Personal OpenAI requests need an internet connection.
Does AI hear my recording?
On-device speech recognition processes the audio locally. The optional Personal cloud AI routes send transcript text and the request to OpenAI after confirmation, rather than the recording.
Do I need an AI subscription?
WordHeld subscriptions are not live. Current Personal AI uses your own OpenAI API key; API charges are handled by OpenAI separately. Local features can be used without a key.
How are Ask AI and Search library different?
Ask AI sends a confirmed question and the current Personal transcript to OpenAI. Search library runs locally across saved conversations and returns matching passages. It also remains available for Clinical conversations.
Can I use cloud AI for Clinical notes?
No. Clinical cloud AI is blocked in the current preview. Clinical drafts use a local source-based workflow and require human review. WordHeld is not clinically validated; use sample data for evaluation.
Is the local library protected?
Current Windows libraries protect stored text and audio with a key tied to your Windows account. Older plain copies, legacy restore paths and exported text need separate attention. Read the privacy page for the details.
Can I download the new Studio version?
There is no public download link yet. The latest Studio and Focus screenshots show the development preview; they do not confirm a newly packaged release.
Can I say “Emi, note that down” during a recording?
Spoken call-outs are planned. The current app does not listen for commands to flag moments during recording.
