Voice is human. Fast. Intuitive. But traditional voice AI has a dirty secret: your convos become training data. Maple Voice fixes this: • Your words stay yours • Audio encrypted before leaving your device • Zero data retention or training use image Easy to use: 1. Tap 🎤 in any Maple chat 2. Speak naturally (questions, ideas, requests) 3. Hit "Send" 4. Hear Maple respond in a clear voice (and you can see the text) Behind the scenes: 🔒 Microphone data is encrypted on your device 🗣️ Speech-to-text via Whisper (OpenAI) in secure enclaves 🧠 Your chosen AI model processes the request (DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, Qwen3 Coder, etc.) 🔊 Voice replies via Kokoro text-to-speech (also in enclaves) Available NOW for all Maple Pro, Team, & Max users. Free/Starter? Upgrade to unlock → Works on web, desktop & iOS. Proxy users coming soon. Voice shouldn't mean surrendering privacy. With this release, we're proving you can have both: the convenience of spoken AI and the security Maple delivers. Your voice is yours—not a data point to be mined and sold.

Hmmm, i would bet gov or its vendors would have every americans' voice print now, so could I be doxxing yourself?

Does it upload the original audio file or is it a simple voice to text?

You can estimate geographical location pretty close based on the words we choose.
Give them a try. We need more freedom tech tools in this space. I like the concept of what they're building and that people will have choices for UX, payment models, etc. Weigh the privacy risks and pick what you're comfortable with.
Fantastic work!👏 Now that Whisper is integrated, if you added the ability to transcribe long audio files – 1 to 5 hours – it would become the perfect AI tool.

But in your case, you only retain users data stripped of PII for 48 hours? Are you trying to tell me that you don't train on that data in that 24 hour 48 hour period? This seems highly sus as my kids would say. Where is your decentralization protocol? Where is your verifiable scarcity? Where is your actual proof of all you say? Love the concept! Don't trust verify.
The audio file is encrypted on device, uploaded to Whisper running in the secure enclave, then text is sent back to your device and passed through the normal Maple secure LLM flow
