TextHelp – Cloud services and data security by Texthelp apps
Problem
An IT technician requests information on what cloud services Read & Write uses in the course of its operation.
Applies to
- Texthelp products
Resolution
The following information has been provided by the developer:
Read & Write
Read&Write does not use cloud services for its local processes, however it does have two features that connect to them - Translation, which uses Google Translate, and Dictation/Talk&Type, which uses Microsoft Online Speech Recognition by default. This is the same online dictation service that is available on Windows 10 or higher by default; Read&Write can be set to use an offline dictation service also built-in to Windows if required.
Use of 2FA
Neither Read and Write or Autocorrect make use of 2FA or interact with personal data in their operation.
Note
AutoCorrect is a fully local application and thus uses no cloud services. Be advised that AutoCorrect is the new name and version for the previously available Global AutoCorrect, which has since been discontinued.
