Voice Dictation Privacy Notice

Effective August 13, 2024

What information does Meta collect when I use Voice Dictation?

When you use Voice Dictation, we process a recording of your voice to create a text transcript of what you say. Once we complete the dictation (that is, transcribe your voice to text), we delete the voice recording and transcript immediately, unless you choose to provide feedback on your Voice Dictation experience or have Meta Quest Dictation improvements turned on. Because your Voice Dictation recordings and transcripts are not stored by default, you will not see them in your Activity Log.

If you opt-in to improve Meta Quest Dictation, we store recordings of your voice dictations and transcripts on your device and use them for on-device machine learning to improve the Voice Dictation feature. Your voice dictations and transcripts will not be shared with Meta. Only aggregated, de-identified information related to your use of this feature will be shared with Meta to improve dictation for everyone.

If you no longer want to store data to improve Meta Quest Dictation or no longer wish to use the device, you can delete your stored voice dictation data at any time by changing your Meta Quest Dictation improvement settings as shown below. Otherwise, the data will be deleted when you delete your account.

How does Voice Dictation differ from Meta AI?

Meta AI and Voice Dictation are two separate services that allow you to use your voice to navigate and control your Meta Quest device.

You can use Meta AI by double-pressing the
icon on your right Touch controller.
You can use Voice Dictation to use your speech to type, by selecting the microphone on the Meta Quest keyboard.

We do not store or review recordings or transcripts of dictations you make with the Meta Quest keyboard unless you submit the recordings to us for feedback or have Meta Quest Dictation improvements turned on. Because your Voice Dictation recordings and transcripts are not stored by default, you will not see them in your Meta AI Activity Log.

How can I provide feedback on my Voice Dictation?

You have the opportunity to provide feedback on your Voice Dictation experience by selecting or after you use Voice Dictation. If you select the “thumbs-down,” you’ll have the option to submit the recording and transcription of your last voice dictation. If you choose to submit them, the recording and transcription will be stored on our servers and a trained reviewer may listen for what went wrong to help make our voice services better for everyone.
