Terms of Use

1. About the App

Live Transcribe ('the App') is a productivity tool developed by AppStudio that provides real-time speech-to-text transcription, media file import, editing, AI-assisted summaries, and multi-format document export.

2. License to Use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Live Transcribe on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.

3. Subscriptions and Purchases

Live Transcribe offers free basic features alongside optional auto-renewing subscriptions (weekly and yearly) and lifetime access options.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle. You can manage or cancel subscriptions anytime in iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

4. Free Tier Limitations

The free tier provides live recording, basic file import, and plain text export. Advanced export formats (PDF, DOCX, RTF) and unlimited AI assistance require an active Pro subscription or lifetime purchase.

5. AI Features

Optional AI features (summaries, key points, translation) transmit transcript text via secure relays to OpenRouter upon user request.

AI-generated summaries are provided for convenience and reference only. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying generated text before relying on it for academic, legal, medical, or commercial purposes.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to record or transcribe conversations without the necessary knowledge or consent of all required parties under applicable recording laws.

You must not use the App to process illegal, infringing, defamatory, or harmful content.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the App, its design, code, trademarks, and branding belong to AppStudio. You retain all ownership rights in your audio recordings, transcripts, and exported files.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Live Transcribe is provided on an 'AS IS' and 'AS AVAILABLE' basis without warranties of any kind. Speech recognition accuracy depends on audio quality, acoustics, accent, and Apple's underlying recognition engines.

The App is not designed for emergency, safety-critical, medical, or official courtroom record-keeping.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AppStudio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the App.

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services including Apple (Speech, StoreKit, CloudKit), Google (AdMob, Firebase), OpenRouter, and Cloudflare. Each third-party service is governed by its respective terms.

11. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how local data, speech recognition, and optional AI services operate.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms. You may terminate these terms at any time by deleting the App from your devices.

13. Changes to These Terms
