# Do I have to be connected to the internet to use Talkatoo?

## Talkatoo is a cloud-based service that requires an internet connection to function.

Yes. Talkatoo is a cloud-based service that requires an internet connection to function.  All of the processing is done on our servers, so there is no 'offline' version of Talkatoo available.

The one exception is that on the mobile app you can record notes while offline, but you will only receive the transcript and be able to submit them once you are back online.  Note that you must be already signed into the mobile app, as you are unable to authenticate while offline.
