How VelvetSpeak works, honestly.
This page says plainly what VelvetSpeak is, what it does with sound, and what we ask of you while you test it. It is short on purpose. Read it before you wear the glasses.

What it does
VelvetSpeak listens to your conversation on Even Realities G2 glasses. It uses AI to suggest what you could say, one card at a time.
Suggestions can be wrong. The wearer decides what to say. The glasses never speak for you.
Audio and words
Your microphone audio, including other people's voices in the conversation, is sent to Deepgram and OpenAI to transcribe it and generate suggestions. It is used to produce your results and is not sold.
Transcripts, notes, and memory are stored on your device according to the Memory Capture level you choose. You can export or erase them in Settings. VelvetSpeak also keeps content-free usage counts and durations to operate the beta.
Deepgram and OpenAI can retain processed content under their service settings and terms. The current details and open verification work are listed on the privacy page.
Session memory sync, if you turn it on
Session memory sync is optional and off by default. It requires Meeting notes & coaching and applies only to future sessions. It saves distilled summaries for context, never audio or transcripts.
The server text is readable rather than end-to-end encrypted. VelvetSpeak keeps at most the newest 100 sessions and nothing older than 12 months. Turning sync off deletes the server copy.
Consent and the law
Recording and transcription laws differ by region. Many places require everyone in a conversation to agree before it is recorded or transcribed.
Beta testers are responsible for getting that agreement where it is required. When in doubt, tell people about the glasses before you start.
AI disclosure
The people you talk to deserve to know. VelvetSpeak does not announce itself, so telling people an AI is helping is the wearer's responsibility, the same as getting their agreement to be transcribed where the law requires it.
Not for emergencies
VelvetSpeak can be wrong, miss things, or be distracting. Do not rely on it for anything important, safety-critical, or high-stakes. If a conversation involves danger to anyone, stop using the glasses and get real help.
Beta reality
This is a small closed beta. Things will be imperfect. Access can be paused or revoked.
If anything feels uncomfortable, email support@velvetspeak.com.
Draft for the closed beta. Not legal advice.
