Important Notice for Free Tools: Our free tools (including audio compressor, audio merger, audio noise reduction, MP4 to audio converter, MP4 to MP3 converter, speech to text, text analyzer, and audio splitter) operate using a client-side processing model. This means:

• Local Processing: All processing occurs entirely within your browser using WebAssembly technology
• Complete Privacy: Your files never leave your device and are not transmitted to our servers
• No Server Access: We have no access to your materials at any time during or after processing
• Secure Processing: All operations happen locally on your device, ensuring maximum privacy and data security

By using our free tools, you understand that your data remains completely private and secure on your device. We cannot access, view, or store any of your uploaded content or generated results.
