When **Privacy → Save transcripts** is enabled, completed dictations appear on the **Transcripts** page and are stored locally on your Mac.

## Use transcript history

Open **Transcripts** from the sidebar. You can:

- Search saved text.
- Copy a transcript to the clipboard.
- Delete one transcript.
- Download its retained audio as a `.webm` file when audio is available.
- Undo or redo the AI edit when both original and polished text were retained.

Hover over a transcript to reveal its actions.

## Original and polished text

If polishing changed a transcript, **Undo AI edit** switches the displayed text back to the original transcription. **Redo AI edit** restores the polished version. This does not re-run the polishing model.

## Local audio storage

When transcript saving is enabled, mrmr can retain the corresponding recording locally with the transcript. Open **Privacy → Save transcripts → Open folder** to view the recordings folder in Finder.

Deleting an individual transcript also deletes its associated audio file. Clearing transcripts removes the complete local history and recordings directory.

## Disable transcript saving

Open **Privacy** and turn off **Save transcripts**. Confirming this action permanently deletes existing saved transcripts and associated local recordings. New dictations are still processed and inserted, but they are not added to transcript history.

The **Transcripts** sidebar item is hidden while saving is disabled.
