Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance

By accessing, recording through, signing in to, or otherwise using Burmese Dictation, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you must not use the tool.

2. Purpose and Permitted Use

Burmese Dictation provides browser-based speech-to-text assistance for Burmese language dictation. You are responsible for the audio you record, the transcripts you create, and your compliance with applicable law, consent requirements, workplace rules, and confidentiality duties.

3. Accounts, Limits, and Access

The tool may be used as a guest or with Google sign-in. Guests are tracked with a client identifier cookie to enforce usage limits. Signed-in users may have different limits, and the designated owner may access operational controls. We may suspend, restrict, or refuse access where use is abusive, unlawful, harmful, or likely to impair the service.

4. Information Processed

When you use Google sign-in, we receive and store only the account information needed to operate login, such as your email address, display name and profile image if provided by Google, internal user and session records, and authentication provider identifiers needed by the login system. We do not request or store your Gmail, Google Drive, contacts, calendar, or other unrelated Google account data. The tool may also process guest usage identifiers, transcription activity records, transcript text, usage-limit information, technical provider results, error information, and related timestamps. In the default direct transcription mode, microphone audio is captured and encoded in your browser, sent to the application server for transcription, forwarded to the configured speech-to-text provider, and not stored as an audio recording by Burmese Dictation.

The designated owner may choose an upload-then-transcribe mode for operational testing or interrupted-recording recovery. In that mode, audio may be temporarily stored in private Vercel Blob storage for transcription, deleted as soon as processing completes, and automatically purged after the short temporary storage window regardless of outcome.

5. How Information Is Used

Information is used to provide transcription, authenticate users, enforce recording limits, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, maintain security, improve reliability, and support future administrative reporting about service usage, performance, provider reliability, cost control, and operational health. We do not sell personal data or use transcript content for advertising.

6. Third-Party Services

Transcription and authentication may depend on third-party services, including Google, Gemini, ElevenLabs, database providers, and hosting providers. Data sent to those services is governed by their own terms, policies, security controls, and processing practices. You must not submit audio or text unless you are permitted to have it processed by those providers.

7. Retention

The default direct transcription mode does not store raw audio recordings. Where the owner-selected upload-then-transcribe mode is used, raw audio is temporary only and is kept for up to 10 minutes, with deletion attempted immediately after successful transcription. Raw transcript text is retained for 30 days, failed provider error details for 30 days, user-visible history metadata for 90 days, and aggregate usage statistics for 730 days. Deleting a transcript from history hides it immediately and purges the raw transcript chunks while preserving aggregate usage counts needed for owner analytics, abuse prevention, reliability, and cost reporting. Authentication and account records are retained while needed for account operation, security, legal compliance, or deletion handling. Records may be deleted, anonymized, or retained longer where required to protect the service, investigate misuse, comply with legal obligations, or preserve backups and audit integrity.

8. User Content and Prohibited Conduct

You retain responsibility for your recordings and transcripts. You must not use the tool to record people without required consent, to process unlawful or highly sensitive information without authority, to infringe intellectual property or privacy rights, to attack or overload the service, to bypass usage limits, or to submit content that you are not authorized to process.

9. Accuracy and Availability

Transcripts may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. The tool is provided for convenience and must not be relied on as the sole record for legal, medical, financial, safety-critical, or other high-risk decisions. We may modify, interrupt, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.

10. Security and Liability

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the current project stage, but no system is guaranteed to be error-free or immune from unauthorized access. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the tool is provided without warranties, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, loss of data, loss of profits, or claims arising from misuse, third-party services, or inaccurate transcription.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms and Conditions as the service, storage, analytics, retention, or legal requirements change. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
