Safety & consent
The one defense built for voice-clone scams.
AI voice cloning turned a panicked call in a familiar voice into an epidemic. LingoDial is the rare product where proving whose voice it is comes first — and where the conservative choice is always the built-in one.
Consent by default
Consent isn't a setting you go find. It's the default you can't miss.
Every call is treated as if it happens in the strictest jurisdiction it touches. Both people agree before it connects, and a plain spoken line opens the call: AI translation on, recording off — no quiet defaults, no fine print.
Your cloned voice is recorded only from you, on your own device. Delete it and it's honored immediately — never exported, never sold.
Anti-scam shield
The one defense built for voice-clone scams.
AI voice cloning turned the “grandparent scam” into an epidemic — a panicked call in a voice that sounds exactly like family. LingoDial is the rare product where proving whose voice it is isn’t bolted on afterward. It’s the foundation everything else stands on.
Verified-voice match
Every call proves the voice is really them — a green Verified when Face ID confirmed it on their own device, a red Unverified when it can’t. No proof, no badge.
A family safe-word
A private word only your family knows, one tap away mid-call. If the voice can’t say it back, hang up — plain enough for the person the scammers actually target.
Scam-intent warning
Urgency, secrecy, gift cards, wire transfers — the grammar of the “grandparent scam” gets flagged on-screen, in the moment, before any money moves.
Possible scam. Mentions gift cards and “don’t tell anyone.”
When it really is Alex: Verified — Face ID confirmed on his device.
Trust & consent
The answer to every skeptic.
A product this personal only earns a place on a family’s phones if the conservative choice is the built-in one. So it is — everywhere it counts, LingoDial defaults to the option that asks the least of your trust.
Two-party consent by default
Every call is treated as if it happens in the strictest jurisdiction it touches. Both people agree before it connects — no quiet defaults, no fine print.
A disclosure at the start of every call
One plain line, out loud, tells both people exactly what’s active: AI translation on, recording off. No surprises about what the app is doing.
Nothing stored unless you both opt in
No audio, no transcripts, by default — live translation runs on buffers that are discarded as you talk. Saving takes an affirmative yes from each side.
Your voice stays yours
Recorded only from you, on your device. Delete it and it’s honored immediately — never exportable, never sold, never used outside your own authenticated calls.
Spoken at the start of every call
“This call is translated by AI. Nothing is stored — recording stays off unless you both turn it on.”
When the call ends
Transcript not saved
Saving was off · nothing from this call was stored
A failed biometric check never blocks a call — it simply falls back to a default voice, clearly unverified. The safe path is never the inconvenient one.
Trust that survives a skeptic.
