How much space do my recordings take, and can I stop keeping them?
Insights shows what your recordings take on disk; keep them 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or a year, or delete them now, and your transcripts are never touched.
Open Insights and look at the storage card: it shows what your recordings take on this computer. Every dictation keeps its audio so you can play it back, and you decide for how long.
#Stop keeping them past an age
- Open Insights, and find the storage card.
- Set Keep recordings for to 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or 1 year. It starts at Forever.
From then on, a recording older than that is deleted. The dictation itself, its words, its date and every count stay exactly as they were; it can no longer be played.
#Clear space now
- Clear out the older ones now deletes recordings older than an age you pick.
- Delete every recording removes all of them, whatever their age.
Both ask before they run, and say how much space they free. Note recordings go the same way as dictation recordings.
How many dictations and words, how long you have spent talking, the last thirty days, the apps you dictate into most, and how often each Vocabulary term has been typed. All of it is counted from your History on this computer, and none of it leaves.
Deleting recordings cannot be undone. To erase a dictation’s words as well as its audio, see how to delete a dictation for good.
