Frequently Asked Questions

What is sovereign transcription AI and why does it matter for public sector teams?

Sovereign transcription AI means transcription where your data stays fully hosted and processed in Europe, with no transfer to third countries (notably the US, where the Cloud Act allows government access to data). For public agencies, government bodies or regulated organizations, using an EU-only transcription tool ensures strict GDPR compliance and preserves control over sometimes sensitive content: internal meetings, hearings, deliberations and strategic records.

Is Vook.ai GDPR-compliant for public sector use?

Yes. Vook.ai is a French company, processing and storage servers are located in the European Union, and data is never transferred outside the EU or used to train external AI models. GDPR compliance is native and complete. For specific requirements (DPIA, data processing agreements, bespoke contractual clauses), our Enterprise plan enables a tailored contract aligned with public procurement requirements.

Can Vook.ai be used for public procurement contracts?

Yes. Vook.ai is suitable for government agencies, local authorities, public institutions and publicly-owned operators, whether through public procurement or direct contracts. Our team can provide the documentation needed for a procurement file (technical sheet, public sector references, compliance attestations). For high volumes or specific contractual requirements, our Enterprise plan allows adapted pricing and conditions.

What kinds of public sector meetings can I transcribe?

Any recorded meeting can be transcribed with Vook.ai: city council or regional sessions, committees, technical boards, parliamentary hearings, inter-ministerial working groups, public institution leadership meetings, interviews conducted in the context of public inquiries or administrative investigations. Automatic speaker identification and timestamping make it easy to draft official minutes, deliberations or decision records.

Does my sensitive data stay protected on Vook.ai?

Yes, this is at the heart of our value proposition for public sector users. Audio, video files and transcriptions are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and account-unique keys, stored on EU-only servers in France and the EU, and only accessible through your account. No transfer to third countries is possible, and your data is never used to train external models. Protection meets the needs of standard and sensitive administrative data.

How do I procure Vook.ai for a government agency or public body?

For one-off use or testing, you can subscribe directly online with the Pro, Unlimited or Business plans (centralized billing). For a broader deployment (central services, regional authority, public institution), contact us via the Enterprise page: we offer contractual terms adapted to public procurement, volume pricing and deployment support. A free trial is available upfront to validate functional fit.
