Terms of Use

The agreement between you and the developer of VoiceType AI Keyboard — including how the subscription works and why you should read a transcription before you send it.

Effective: September 22, 2026Governing law: State of Texas, USA

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Sharath K., an individual developer based in Texas, USA (“we”, “us”, “our”), the developer of the VoiceType AI Keyboard app and keyboard for iPhone and this website (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Apple’s Standard EULA

The app is licensed to you under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. These Terms supplement the Standard EULA. If anything in these Terms conflicts with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA governs to the extent of the conflict.

3. Your account

  • Typing with the keyboard does not require a subscription. Voice dictation and sync require an account (an email address and password). Give accurate information and keep your password secure; you are responsible for activity under your account.
  • The same sign-in is shared with the developer’s other apps, To-Do List and GenAI Studio. Deleting the account deletes it for all of them.
  • You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live — or have a parent or guardian agree to these Terms for you.
  • Tell us promptly at sharathck3@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Subscription and free trial

Typing is free. Voice dictation requires the VoiceType Monthly auto-renewable subscription, priced at US$1.00 per month (or the equivalent price shown in the App Store in your country or region; local prices vary).

  • Free trial. New subscribers receive a 1-week free trial. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple.
  • Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, after the free trial ends. Purchases are made through Apple In-App Purchase.
  • Auto-renewal. The subscription renews automatically each month unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription.
  • Forfeited trial time. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies; you can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves.
  • Price changes. If the price changes, Apple will notify you as required and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.

5. License

Subject to these Terms and the Standard EULA, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your personal or internal business use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

6. Your content

  • You own the text you type and dictate, your vocabulary, instructions and other content you put into the Service (“Your Content”).
  • You give us a limited license to host, store, copy, transmit and process Your Content only as needed to operate the Service for you — for example, to save your dictation history and to send your voice to the speech engine you chose.
  • You are responsible for Your Content and for having the right to use it. Do not dictate or record other people’s words where the law requires their consent unless you have it.

7. Transcription and AI features

Transcriptions may contain errors. Speech engines can mishear words, names and numbers, and optional clean-up can change a word you meant to keep. Review your text before you send it, especially messages, email and anything important.

  • Clean-up (your vocabulary spelled right, obvious grammar fixed, optional tone) runs only when you turn it on.
  • Transcriptions and clean-up are not professional advice and must not be relied on where a mistake could cause harm, including for emergencies.
  • Use voice dictation only where it is safe and lawful. Obey traffic laws and do not interact with your screen while driving.
  • Cloud speech engines and cloud clean-up are used only after you allow AI features in the app, and you can change that at any time under Privacy & AI (see the Privacy Policy).

8. Third-party services

Voice features rely on services provided by third parties, including Meta, Google, OpenAI, xAI, Microsoft, Cerebras and Anthropic, and on infrastructure from Google Firebase. Their availability, behavior and pricing are outside our control. We may add, change or remove engines, models or features at any time, and a feature may be temporarily unavailable if a provider is. Apple’s on-device recognizer remains available as an alternative where your device supports it.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for anything illegal, harmful, fraudulent, harassing or infringing;
  • access or try to access anyone else’s account or data, or probe, scan or test the Service’s security without our written permission;
  • interfere with or overload the Service, or access it by automated means;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
  • use the Service to build a competing product, or resell, sublicense or share access to it;
  • use the Service to record or transcribe anyone without the consent the law requires.

10. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service reliable, but it may be interrupted, changed or discontinued, in whole or in part, at any time. We may update the app to fix problems, add features or comply with the law. Voice dictation with a cloud engine requires a network connection, and some features require a compatible iPhone and iOS version.

11. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text and graphics (but not Your Content), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and accuracy. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that transcriptions or clean-up will be accurate, or that data will never be lost.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or relating to the Service — including from a message or other text sent with a transcription error — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the subscription in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$10.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your mandatory rights as a consumer where you live.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or of anyone else’s rights.

15. Termination

  • You can stop using the Service at any time, remove the keyboard in iPhone Settings, and delete your account and its data in the app: Account → Delete account.
  • We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable, we will tell you first.
  • Ending your account does not cancel your Apple subscription — cancel it in iPhone Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as Your Content, Disclaimers, Limitation of liability, Indemnity and Governing law) survive.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Texas, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another country that gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts or under your local law, nothing in this section takes that right away. Before filing a claim, please contact us — most problems can be solved quickly.

17. Apple as third-party beneficiary

These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any product claims, intellectual-property claims or other claims relating to the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, once you accept them, may enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new effective date and, if a change is material, tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
