Frequently asked

Is my document sent to a translation service?

No. Translation uses your browser’s on-device model — the text stays on your machine.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After your first visit the app and its WebAssembly engines are cached by a service worker, so you can process files with no internet connection at all — the ultimate proof nothing is being uploaded.
