The shorter note does not shorten an earlier upload
A couples note might describe a disagreement and an agreed next step in a few sentences. The discussion used to write it may contain separate accounts of finances, relatives, or events that the final note never repeats.
If an online scribe processes the full recording, it receives those comments too. Removing a name or detail from the draft limits the final note; it does not remove that detail from a transcript already sent to the service.
Compare the full discussion with the final account
Imagine this fictional session: a couple discusses how to approach household expenses. During the conversation, each describes a relative's involvement and a personal worry about money. The therapist helps them identify which question to revisit, and they agree to bring their separate priorities to the next appointment.
The final note might say:
"Discussed differing priorities around household expenses. Therapist facilitated identification of the unresolved question. Partners agreed to bring their individual priorities to the next session for further discussion."
That note omits the relatives and the fuller personal accounts. An online service receiving the conversation could still hold them. The example is fictional; it illustrates the amount of information involved, not a rule about what every couples record must contain.
Keep drafting while changing who receives the session
Astralcyte makes the transcript and draft on your device in DAP, BIRP, narrative, or another selected format. You edit the text and copy the note into the record you already use.
The privacy policy explains that the app sends neither the fuller conversation nor the draft to the company. Encrypted storage protects the working records. The company cannot leak either partner's discussion from servers that never receive it.
The practical privacy gain includes the personal comments you leave out of the note. You can retain the writing help without creating another company-held account of the whole session.
