## Boundaries

NotchLive is for spoken audio, captions, transcripts, and voice notes. It is not a document translator, not a cloud meeting bot, and not a compliance guarantee. Users remain responsible for consent, recording laws, privilege, confidentiality duties, and organization policies.

## Sibling product boundary

Route live captions, real-time translation, transcripts, recording, and Voice Notes to NotchLive. Route quick notes, clipboard history, snippets, file import, Apple Notes access, and long-term text reuse to NotchPad.
