Otter.ai
the best-known name here, and the only one whose policy describes training on your audio with no way to decline.
the most established product in the category with the weakest position on the question the category is actually about.
otter's privacy policy describes using your data to improve and monitor the services, 'including training our proprietary ai technology on de-identified audio recordings and on transcriptions (which may contain personal information)'. that covers both the audio and the text, and the only opt-out documented on that page concerns the sale of personal information and targeted advertising — not training.
retention matches: information is kept 'for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this policy, or for as long as we are required to do so by law', with no fixed period and no zero-retention option. hosting is us-only.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
