Your Voice — Tell Your Story

Your entry is private to authorised website CMS administrators. Saving an entry or attached recording does not publish it, send it to AI, use it for model training or share it with outside organisations. Optional dictation and recording transcription send audio to OpenAI only when you separately agree and choose the relevant action below. Sending a story permits private review only, not broader research or advocacy use. We may contact you only if you choose that below.

You receive a reference and recovery code to retrieve or withdraw your entry. Withdrawal stops ordinary review and further use, but does not erase stored history or protected backups immediately. Retention and deletion arrangements are not yet approved. Ask hello@nableu.org about privacy, deletion or another accessible way to share your story. Please do not email your recovery code.

Dictation and your choices

Dictation converts new microphone audio to editable text using OpenAI. It does not send the text already in this form or any attached recording. NableU discards the raw dictation audio after the request; OpenAI's API data policy governs its processing. Do not include someone else's private details without permission.

I agree to send audio I deliberately record with the dictation controls to OpenAI to turn it into text. I can use typing or private file upload without agreeing.

Start speaking asks for microphone permission. Pause mutes capture; Stop sends the recording for transcription. Cancel before Stop discards it. Cancellation after Stop cannot recall audio already sent. Review and edit your words before sending the form.

Write in your own words. Your device's dictation can fill this ordinary text box. You can also upload an audio or video recording. No account or diagnosis is required. Text remains available.

Your story (up to 20,000 characters)

Add text, a recording, or both. You can use your device keyboard's dictation and edit your words before sending.

Audio or video (optional)

Choose one MP4, M4A, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV or Ogg recording up to 256 MiB. Nothing records automatically. Its parts are encrypted privately while uploading; the original parts can contain identifying container metadata. Before accepting the recording, we check the complete file locally, discard its filename and remove container tags and chapters from the submitted copy. Identifying details, speech, faces and metadata inside encoded audio/video tracks can remain. This does not anonymise your recording.

Choose an audio or video file

The recording is kept privately for authorised CMS administrators to listen to or watch. Saving does not send it to an external transcription or AI service or publish it. Optional transcription below is a separate choice. The same recovery, withdrawal and retention rules apply. Keep your own copy and upload recovery details. You can reselect the same file and explicitly resume after an interruption or browser restart. Parts are not submitted for human review until you send the form. Temporary parts are removed after confirmed submission or cancellation when no check is active; abandoned uploads expire after the configured period. Submitted stories keep the separate retention rules above.

Private recording upload

Upload and check your recording, then send it with your story. A checked upload is not a submitted entry. Keep its recovery details privately.

Transcript, captions or description (optional, up to 20,000 characters)

You do not need to transcribe your recording to submit it. This written alternative can help a reviewer understand words or visual context. Nothing is transcribed automatically.

Optional transcript and captions

Select a recording, then choose whether to make a draft. Only its audio track goes to OpenAI, not video images, filename, typed story or contact details. This is separate from private storage and human review. NableU discards this temporary copy after the request; OpenAI's API data policy governs its processing. Drafts can contain mistakes. Review words and timing before choosing to keep them. Up to five minutes of audio and 16 MiB per request.

I agree to send the audio from the recording I select to OpenAI when I choose Make transcript draft or Make caption draft. This does not permit publication.

Cancel stops waiting and ignores any late draft; it cannot recall audio already sent. Selecting a file or sending the story does not start transcription.

Timed caption drafts are unavailable. You can use a transcript or add a description.

Drafts are optional. Your words stay editable and nothing is saved until you send the form.

If I include captions, I have reviewed these words and times against the recording I am sending.

Automatic draft and local preview controls need JavaScript. Without JavaScript, private single-request upload supports files up to 16 MiB within the configured limit. Written description and retrieval remain available.

If I attach a recording, I agree to its encrypted private storage and human review under the notice above. This storage permission does not authorise publication or external transcription.

Name (optional) Email (optional, only if you want a reply)

Your choices I agree that NableU website CMS administrators may privately read this story. This is not permission to publish it, train AI or use it for broader research or advocacy. I have read the privacy and retention information above, including the unresolved retention arrangements. You may contact me at the email I supplied about this story.
