Translation and photos
The translation model runs on your device after it has been downloaded. Photo text recognition uses on-device OCR. R&D COPILOT does not operate a translation server that receives your text or photos for these functions.
Voice input and Apple Speech
Voice input uses Apple’s speech-recognition services and requires microphone and speech-recognition permission. On-device recognition is used when supported. For some languages or devices, Apple may process speech on its servers.
Do not assume every voice session is offline. Test the language you need while offline and review speech permissions in iOS Settings. Text and photo translation remain the alternative when you do not want to use network-dependent speech.
Model download and network connections
Initial setup requires an internet connection to obtain the model. Download services receive the connection information needed to transfer files, such as an IP address. Translation text is not needed to download a model.
Model downloads may contact a third-party host such as Hugging Face. The host processes connection information under its own privacy policy. This network transfer is separate from translating your content on the device.
Local app data and device controls
App content is processed on your device. iOS provides controls for app permissions, storage and deletion.
Device backups and Apple system services are governed by your device settings and Apple’s policies.
