According to their privacy policy (https://mycroft.ai/embed-privacy-policy/):

"*When you use our Services including the Mycroft Voice Assistant, your voice and audio commands are transmitted to our Servers for processing.*"

So it appears that STT is still cloud-based, which is a pity. That's the only thing keeping me from ordering one today.

On device STT will be available before the Mark II ships in September!

As will a new privacy policy that better reflects what we actually do.

Interesting so they run the services on cloud and advertise their company as on device, what a bunch of crooks.

I’ve seen you say that Mark II is going to be able to be run non-internet.

Will I be able to be run on my local network, even if I have to dedicate a machine to just speech to text (STT) ?
