In macOS 14.0 Sonoma, Apple released the ability to limit dictation to staying on-device and not sending data to the Siri severs. The use of dictation is likely to include editing documents with confidential information.While Apple does have controls to obfuscate voice data that exists on their servers it is recommended that Dictation collected information does not leave the local Mac.
