Speecho is a brand operated by Maksym Soloviov, an individual entrepreneur (Фізична особа-підприємець / FOP) registered in Ukraine. Registration number and registered business address are available on written request to support@speecho.app.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Maksym Soloviov FOP (the operator of Speecho). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. References in these Terms to "Speecho", "we", "us", or "our" refer to the operating sole proprietorship described above. Please read these Terms carefully.
Speecho provides AI-powered speech-to-text transcription on a pay-as-you-go basis. You purchase credits in advance and spend them by transcribing audio or video files (for video, the audio is extracted in your browser before upload). Each transcription also includes AI summaries and translations into 18 languages: the first two summary styles and the first two translation languages per transcription are free; additional styles or languages are billed in credits at the rates shown in the app. AI chapter generation is free. Speaker identification (diarization) is available as an opt-in feature and may consume credits at a higher rate than the standard transcription (the exact multiplier is shown next to the option in the app and may change over time). The Service also includes live subtitles: real-time speech recognition with optional live translation, billed per second of session time against the same credit balance. Additional features draw on the same credit balance at the rates shown in the app: handwriting recognition (billed per scanned page), burned-in video captions (billed per started video minute), an in-browser meeting recorder (recordings are transcribed at the standard audio rate), and transcript chat (billed per question, priced by transcript length). AI chapters and searching your own transcription history are free. All prices are in US Dollars (USD).
You agree not to use the Service to transcribe content that is illegal, infringes third-party intellectual property rights, contains hate speech, or violates the privacy of others. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules without prior notice.
Recording consent. If you record a meeting or call — with the built-in meeting recorder or any other tool — you are solely responsible for complying with the call-recording and consent laws that apply to you and to every other participant. Many jurisdictions require you to inform all participants that the conversation is being recorded, and some require their explicit consent. Announce the recording before it starts; the app reminds you of this every time you start a meeting recording. Speecho only provides the recording and transcription tooling and accepts no liability for recordings made without the legally required notice or consent.
The Service includes an optional sharing feature: you can generate a share link for any completed transcription, which makes that transcription — including the filename, transcript text, AI summary, and translations — publicly viewable by anyone with the link. Sharing is opt-in, requires explicit confirmation each time, and can be revoked from your dashboard at any moment (the link will then return a 404 to all visitors). Share links use cryptographically random tokens and are not enumerable; they are also marked with X-Robots-Tag: noindex so search engines are asked not to index them.
You are solely responsible for any transcription you choose to share. By creating a share link, you confirm that you have the legal right to publish the underlying audio's transcription and that doing so does not infringe on third-party rights (copyright, privacy, confidentiality, NDAs, or others). We may disable share links at our discretion if we determine the shared content is abusive, infringing, or in violation of these Terms.
Live subtitle sessions include a similar opt-in viewing feature: while a session is running, you may enable a real-time viewing link (also available as a QR code) that lets anyone who has it follow the live transcript as text, currently limited to 20 concurrent viewers per session. The viewing link is off by default and can be disabled at any moment during the session (which immediately disconnects all viewers). If the viewing link is still enabled when the session ends, the same link continues to serve the saved transcript of that session as a regular share link; you can revoke it at any time from your dashboard, and it stops working if you delete the transcription. If you disable the viewing link before ending the session, it stops working entirely. Viewing links use cryptographically random tokens and are not enumerable. The responsibility rules in the preceding paragraph apply equally to live viewing links: by enabling one, you confirm you have the right to make the transcribed speech available to your audience.
Transcription is performed by OpenAI and/or Groq using OpenAI's Whisper model. AI summary and translation are powered by Llama 3.3 (Groq). Speaker identification, when enabled, is performed by Replicate (which also handles transcription for that specific request using a Whisper variant + pyannote diarization). Live subtitles (real-time recognition and translation) are performed by Soniox. While accuracy is typically high (90%+ on clean audio), we do not guarantee 100% accuracy and are not liable for errors, omissions, or misinterpretations in transcription, summary, or translation results. The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.
Audio files are streamed to OpenAI, Groq, or Replicate (depending on which features you use) for processing and are not retained on our servers after transcription completes. Live subtitle audio is streamed in real time to Soniox for recognition and is likewise not retained. Resulting transcript text, summaries, and translations are stored for up to 30 days. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages (OpenAI, Groq, Replicate, hosting providers), or unforeseen events may cause downtime. We are not liable for losses caused by service interruptions.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Speecho's total liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email (for registered users) or a banner on the website. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend your access if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, unused credits may be refunded subject to our Refund Policy.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Ukraine, except where local consumer protection laws of your country of residence grant you stronger rights.
