Apple’s licensed application terms apply. Your use of SpeechSeed is governed by Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). These product terms supplement that agreement. If they conflict, Apple’s Standard EULA controls.
1. Agreement and adult supervision
By downloading, purchasing or using SpeechSeed (the “App”), you agree to Apple’s Standard EULA and these terms. A parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult should supervise a child’s use and make any purchase decision. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. What SpeechSeed provides
SpeechSeed provides adult-guided English speech-sound practice on iPhone and iPad, including 22 sound programs, 861 picture-cued practice words, local record-and-compare, progress summaries and reports a grown-up may choose to share.
At word, phrase and sentence levels, on-device recognition listens for the prompted word and known common slips. Conversation cards ask the learner to use that target word in a new sentence or question; the App does not score the quality of the whole utterance. At sound and syllable levels, the App detects a vocal attempt and relies on a grown-up’s judgment. Recognition can be wrong or uncertain, especially with children’s speech.
3. Not medical care
The App provides general educational practice support. It does not diagnose, prevent, monitor or treat a speech, language, hearing, developmental or medical condition. It is not a medical device and is not a substitute for evaluation or care by a qualified speech-language pathologist, audiologist, doctor or other professional.
Do not delay professional advice because of an App result. If you are concerned about a child’s communication, hearing, development, regression, distress or safety, contact an appropriately qualified professional. In an emergency, use local emergency services.
4. Free and Premium access
The free program does not expire. It includes sound and syllable practice on all 22 sounds, one complete sound program through sentences, one session per day, progress, reports and guidance. Premium opens word-through-conversation practice across all sounds and unlimited daily sessions.
Features may evolve, but we will not describe a paid feature or trial as available unless the App can load it from Apple.
5. Monthly and yearly subscriptions
SpeechSeed currently offers Apple-billed auto-renewable subscriptions. The US App Store prices at publication are $7.99 per month and $59.99 per year. Apple displays the exact regional price, billing period and any introductory-trial eligibility before confirmation; those purchase-screen terms control.
- Payment is charged to the Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or after an eligible introductory trial shown by Apple.
- A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Apple may charge the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Restore purchases in the grown-up area without buying again.
- Family Sharing applies when Apple marks the purchased plan as shareable and the family’s Apple settings permit it.
Apple controls payment processing, cancellations and refunds. Refund requests can be made through Apple’s Report a Problem, subject to Apple’s rules and applicable consumer law.
6. Privacy and local content
The current App keeps voice, profiles and practice data on the device and has no SpeechSeed account, analytics, ads or audio uploads. Read the Privacy Policy for the full handling and deletion details.
You are responsible for choosing whether and where to share a generated report. After a report is sent to another app, service or person, their terms and privacy practices apply.
7. Acceptable use
You may use the App for personal and family practice under Apple’s license. You must not misuse it, interfere with its operation, evade purchase controls, use it unlawfully, or copy, redistribute, reverse engineer or create derivative works except where applicable law expressly permits that activity.
8. Intellectual property
The App, its original illustrations, interface, writing, audio, software and SpeechSeed branding are owned by or licensed to the developer and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Apple and third-party names remain the property of their respective owners.
9. Availability and changes
We work to keep the App reliable, but on-device recognition, StoreKit, sharing, notifications and other operating-system services can be unavailable or behave differently across devices and iOS versions. We may improve, repair, add or remove App features. Material changes to these terms will be posted here with a new revision date.
10. Warranties and liability
The App is provided subject to the warranties, disclaimers and liability terms in Apple’s Standard EULA and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these terms excludes mandatory consumer guarantees or limits liability where doing so is prohibited by law.
To the extent permitted by law, do not rely on an automated recognition result for a clinical, educational-placement, safety or medical decision. A grown-up and qualified professionals remain responsible for those decisions.
