These are the terms for using Whisper Translate Offline, an app for iPhone and iPad
that transcribes speech and translates text on your own device. The same terms are
shown inside the app under Settings › Terms of Use.
1. These terms
These terms govern your use of Whisper Translate Offline. By installing or using
the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app.
2. What Whisper Translate Offline does
Whisper Translate Offline records audio or opens an audio file you choose,
transcribes it with the Whisper speech model, and can translate the transcript.
Everything runs on your device. The app has no server of its own and never sends
your audio or your text anywhere.
3. Your content stays yours
You keep every right you have in the audio you record or import and in the text
produced from it. We claim no licence over any of it.
Recordings are deleted as soon as transcription finishes. Only the transcript and
its translation are saved, and only on your device.
4. Privacy
There are no accounts, no analytics and no telemetry. Nothing you record, type or
translate is reported to us or to anyone else.
The only network request the app makes is the translation model download described
below, and it happens only because you asked for it.
5. Downloads
The speech recognition model is included in the app. The translation model is
about 1 GB and is downloaded once from the source named in Settings, then checked
for integrity before it is used.
A download uses your data plan. The app checks for free space first and tells you
if there is not enough, rather than failing partway through.
6. Accuracy
Automatic transcription and translation are not perfect. They can drop words,
render names and technical terms wrongly, and produce fluent text that is simply
not what was said — most often with poor audio, strong accents, overlapping
speakers or specialised vocabulary.
Check anything that matters before you rely on it.
7. Not professional advice
Whisper Translate Offline is not a substitute for a qualified interpreter or
translator, and its output is not legal, medical, financial or safety advice. Do
not use it as the basis for decisions of that kind.
8. Using the app lawfully
Use Whisper Translate Offline only for audio you have the right to record or
process, and only in ways that are lawful where you are.
Recording other people may require their consent. Meeting that requirement is your
responsibility, not ours.
9. No warranty
The app is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that
it will be uninterrupted, free of errors, or fit for any particular purpose.
10. Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential
losses arising from your use of the app, including a recording or a transcript that
is lost.
Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be excluded by law,
including your rights as a consumer.
11. Changes
These terms may change in a later version of the app. The version shown inside the
app you are using is the one that applies to it.
12. Apple's terms also apply
As with apps obtained from the App Store generally, Apple's standard Licensed
Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of this app. Where
it and these terms disagree, Apple's terms prevail to the extent Apple
requires.
