These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Live Transcript (the “App”), provided by Rowan Harmon (“we”, “us”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The App provides speech-to-text features, including live microphone transcription and on-device transcription of media you select, plus local history of saved transcripts.
Features depend on your device capabilities, operating system, network access (for the initial model download), and permissions you grant.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your own lawful purposes, subject to these Terms and the terms of the Apple App Store or Google Play store from which you downloaded the App.
You agree to:
• Use the App only in compliance with applicable laws.
• Not use the App to infringe others’ rights, including privacy and intellectual property rights.
• Obtain any consents required before recording or uploading audio/video that includes other people.
• Not reverse engineer, abuse, or attempt to disrupt the App except as allowed by law.
• Keep your device secure; local transcripts are only as safe as your device.
Speech recognition is imperfect. Transcripts may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations. Do not rely on the App as the sole record for critical, legal, medical, safety, or compliance purposes without independent verification.
Live recognition uses Apple or Google speech services. Upload transcription uses on-device Whisper-based technology and may download a model from a third-party host. We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, or results produced by those third-party systems.
The App’s design, branding, and original software are owned by us or our licensors. You retain rights to content you create (including your transcript text and media you provide), subject to permissions needed for processing described in the Privacy Policy.
Whisper and related open-source components are subject to their respective licenses and attributions.
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.
Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim (which may be zero if the App is free).
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may stop offering the App or restrict access if you violate these Terms or if required by law or platform rules.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date will be updated when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the developer’s place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country apply.
