Using CopyListen
CopyListen is a browser-based text-to-speech interface. You may use CopyListen for lawful personal, educational, professional, and other legitimate purposes.
You must not use CopyListen in a way that violates applicable law, infringes the rights of others, interferes with the service, or attempts to misuse or disrupt the website or its functionality.
Your Content
You are responsible for the text, images, and other content you provide to CopyListen.
You should only use content that you have the right or permission to use. CopyListen does not obtain ownership of the text or images you provide merely because you use them with the service.
You are responsible for how you use speech output or other results produced from your content.
Speech Output and Voices
CopyListen uses speech synthesis capabilities made available by your browser, operating system, device, or related platform services. CopyListen does not operate or directly license those voices.
The availability, names, identity information, quality, pronunciation, behavior, and language support of voices may vary by browser, device, operating system, installed language packs, connectivity, and platform services. CopyListen does not guarantee any particular voice, including a voice identified by a browser as ThalitaMultilingual.
The website currently provides temporary playback through the Web Speech API and does not record or export browser-generated speech. Recording, exporting, publishing, or sharing speech may be subject to additional provider terms and copyright restrictions. CopyListen does not grant rights to third-party voices or generated recordings.
Open Image and OCR
CopyListen may provide image text-recognition functionality to extract text from images.
Text recognition is automated and may contain errors, omissions, or incorrect characters. You are responsible for reviewing extracted text before relying on it or using it for speech playback.
You should only process images that you are legally permitted to use. If you photograph pages of books or other protected documents, permission and applicable copyright exceptions may vary by jurisdiction.
Service Availability
CopyListen is provided on an “as available” basis.
Features may change, be interrupted, become temporarily unavailable, or behave differently depending on your browser, operating system, device, network connection, or third-party technologies.
CopyListen does not guarantee uninterrupted operation or compatibility with every browser, device, language, or speech voice.
The current website does not provide browser-based audio-file conversion.
Audio Files and Sharing
The website currently does not generate or export audio files from browser voices. If a separate CopyListen application or future feature generates an audio file, the user is responsible for storing, publishing, and sharing it lawfully. Provider terms, voice licenses, and copyright restrictions may apply separately.
Appropriate Reliance
CopyListen is a general-purpose text-to-speech tool. Speech output, OCR results, and other automated functionality should not be treated as guaranteed accurate.
CopyListen is not intended to replace professional advice or systems where incorrect speech, transcription, or availability could create significant safety, legal, medical, financial, or other consequences.
Third-Party Technologies
Some CopyListen functionality depends on technologies provided by third parties, browsers, operating systems, or devices.
This includes technologies such as browser speech synthesis, Google Analytics 4, and software components used for OCR. Those technologies may be subject to their own terms, policies, availability, licensing conditions, and technical limitations.
Intellectual Property
The CopyListen name, branding, website interface, design, software, and original website content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Third-party names, technologies, software, voices, trademarks, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners.
These Terms do not grant you permission to copy, reproduce, redistribute, publish, or commercially exploit CopyListen's protected materials or third-party materials except as permitted by applicable law or with appropriate authorization.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, CopyListen is not responsible for losses or damages resulting from unavailable or changed browser voices, differences in speech output, OCR errors, service interruptions, incompatible devices or browsers, third-party technologies, or the user's use of content or generated results.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

CopyListen may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features as the service develops.
These Terms may also be updated when the service, technologies, or legal requirements change.
