4. AI-Generated Information
Transcription and Analysis
All transcripts, speaker labels, sound alerts, Name Alerts, and summaries produced by Voice Transcription - Deaf are generated automatically by speech recognition, sound recognition, and AI systems. They are provided for informational and communicative purposes only.
Not Professional Advice
Voice Transcription - Deaf does not provide medical, legal, audiological, educational, or certified interpretation services. Its results should not be relied upon as:
- A certified or verbatim record for legal, court, or regulatory purposes
- An official medical record or a substitute for direct communication with a healthcare provider
- A qualified sign language interpreter or a certified CART or captioning service required under accessibility law
- A hearing aid, hearing device, or any form of hearing diagnosis or treatment
- A safety or emergency alert system, such as a replacement for smoke or fire alarms
- The sole basis for any decision with legal, financial, medical, or safety consequences
Accuracy Disclaimer
We do not guarantee that transcripts, alerts, or summaries will be accurate, complete, or free of errors. Quality varies with background noise, microphone quality, distance from the speaker, accents, dialects, overlapping speakers, technical vocabulary, and audio clarity. Words or sounds may be missed, misheard, or rendered incorrectly. Always verify anything important before acting on it.
5. User Content
You retain all rights to the audio you capture and the transcripts you create with Voice Transcription - Deaf. By using the app, you grant us a limited, temporary permission to process that audio solely for the purpose of providing the app's features. We claim no ownership over your content.
Your transcripts, recordings, and settings are stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your personal iCloud account. Voice Transcription - Deaf does not keep a copy of your transcripts on our servers.
6. Intellectual Property
Voice Transcription - Deaf, including its software, design, interface, graphics, and content, is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved. You may not use our name, logo, or branding without our prior written permission.
7. Third-Party Services
Voice Transcription - Deaf relies on third-party services, such as speech recognition providers, Apple, and subscription and analytics providers, to deliver its features. Your use of Voice Transcription - Deaf may therefore also be subject to the terms and policies of those providers. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.
