1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using Shoute ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. License

Shoute grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on your personal devices, subject to the terms of your plan:

  • Free - Cloud transcription with a weekly word limit (2,000 words/week). 1 device.
  • Pro - Monthly, yearly, or lifetime purchase. Cloud + local transcription. Up to 2 devices. 150 transcriptions/day.
  • Local - One-time purchase. On-device transcription only. Up to 2 devices.

3. Free Trial

New users receive a 7-day free trial with full access to cloud transcription features. After the trial expires, you may continue with the Free plan (2,000 words/week) or purchase a Pro or Local license for full access.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to circumvent license validation or rate limits
  • Share your license key with others
  • Use automated tools to abuse the transcription service

5. Cloud Service

Cloud transcription is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee 100% uptime or availability. The App includes a local fallback mode that can be enabled in Settings to provide transcription when the cloud service is unavailable.

6. Refunds

Subscription payments are processed through Stripe. Refund requests should be sent to [email protected] within 14 days of purchase. One-time Local license purchases are eligible for a refund within 30 days.

7. Disclaimer

The App is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, language, and other factors. We are not liable for any damages arising from the use of the App or the accuracy of transcriptions.

8. Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be communicated through the App's update notes.
