Dropbox transcription (is there a third party involvement?)

We recently discovered that dropbox will automatically transcribe audio files - we have some qualitative research interview audio data stored securely in dropbox through our business account. While we'd like to assume that this is a feature dropbox offers directly, I can't find FAQs about this. But is this transcription within the dropbox application or is there third-party involvement? If so, what is the platform doing the transcription?

    Hi there emilyahennessy - thanks for using Dropbox and happy Friday!

     

    This feature is powered by Dropbox and it's part of the Dropbox AI features.

     

    I hope this clears things up and let us know if you have any other questions, Emily.
