> your device will indicate in Keyboard Settings if your audio and transcripts are processed on your device and not sent to Apple servers

I have a reasonably recent (<2yo) MBP, which feels like it ought to be "modern enough", and in Keyboard Settings, it says "Dictation sends information like your voice input, contacts, and location to Apple to process your requests." It doesn't say anything about processing happening on my device. Yes, off-line dictation does work for me (with Wi-Fi turned off), but I'm curious under what conditions Keyboard Settings would say something about transcripts not being sent to Apple.




Exactly, so even if it does work offline, I cannot use it without agreeing to send voice data to Apple.


Not to mention that this is an absurd assurance. "Your device will indicate in Keyboard Settings?" So you're supposed to run and look at that for every voice command, to see if THIS one is being sent up?

What does this even mean?
