Terms of Use
Last updated: October 2, 2026
These terms apply to the LonoText app and to LonoText Cloud, the service that turns Arabic dictation into text. By using them, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
1. The beta
LonoText is in beta and free for now. Features, limits and availability may change, and the service may be interrupted.
2. Using LonoText fairly
Use LonoText to dictate, for yourself or for your work. Please don't:
- send automated requests to LonoText Cloud, or use it outside the app;
- get around its limits, for example by registering many Macs;
- resell or share access to the service;
- use it for anything illegal, or try to access other people's data or disrupt the service.
3. Words and limits
Each plan includes a number of words a month, counted the same way on your Mac and in LonoText Cloud, across all the Macs on your plan: currently 10,000 on Free and unlimited on paid plans. A dictation that goes past the allowance is still finished; after it, dictation pauses until the next month or until you upgrade. Words that LonoText throws away, or that never reach you, aren't counted.
LonoText Cloud also has a fair-use limit on cloud time each month, far above what the words need: currently 150 minutes on Free and 1,000 minutes on Pro. It's there to keep the service affordable for everyone, and normal use doesn't reach it. If it's reached, languages that can run on your Mac are dictated there until the next month, and the others pause; the app says so.
Actions are counted each time one runs, across the month: currently 100 on Free and 1,000 on Pro. An action that fails isn't counted.
We may change allowances, pause cloud dictation for everyone when a daily capacity limit is reached, or turn it off for a Mac that breaks these terms. Dictation on your Mac keeps working either way, within your words.
4. Your words
What you dictate, and the text you run actions on, is yours. You allow us to process it only to turn it into text or to run the action you chose, as the Privacy Policy describes.
5. Accuracy
Speech recognition makes mistakes. Check the text before you rely on it, especially for anything important. Actions are written by an AI model and can be wrong too: read the result before you send it.
6. Updates
LonoText updates itself. Older versions may stop working with LonoText Cloud, and the app will ask you to update.
7. Paid plans
When paid plans become available, their prices and billing terms will be shown before you pay.
8. No warranty
LonoText is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for losses caused by mistakes in transcription or in actions' results, or by the service being unavailable.
9. Ending
You can stop using LonoText at any time by deleting the app. We may end the beta or the service; if we do, we'll say so in the app or on this website.
10. Changes
If these terms change, the date above changes too, and we'll announce important changes. Continuing to use LonoText means you accept the new terms.
