Terms of use

Last updated: October 31, 2026

These terms cover your use of freetranscribe.net and its tools ("FreeTranscribe", "the service"). They're written in plain language. By using the service you agree to them; if you don't agree, please don't use it.

1. The service

FreeTranscribe provides free tools that transcribe, translate and convert audio and video files, and that create and convert subtitle files. The tools run in your web browser on your own device. The service is free and supported by advertising. We may change, add or remove features at any time.

2. Your files and your transcripts

• Files you select are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us. We don't receive, store or have access to your files or the text produced from them. See the privacy policy for details.
• You keep all rights to your files and to the transcripts, subtitles and other output you create. You may use the output for any lawful purpose, including commercial use.
• You're responsible for having the right to use the files you process, and for any consent needed to record and transcribe the people in them.

3. Acceptable use

Please don't use the service to:

• break any law, or infringe anyone's copyright, privacy or other rights;
• interfere with the website, for example by overloading it with automated requests or trying to break its security;
• copy or resell the website itself, or present it as your own.

4. Accuracy

Transcripts and translations are produced automatically by an AI model and can contain mistakes, including missing, wrong or misheard words and incorrect timings. Check the output before relying on it, especially for legal, medical, financial, academic or safety-related purposes.

5. Third-party services

To run the tools, your browser downloads software and model files from third-party networks (Hugging Face and jsDelivr). The site shows advertising from third-party ad networks and uses Google Analytics; their use of data is described in the privacy policy. Links and ads may lead to other websites, which we don't control and aren't responsible for.

6. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, FreeTranscribe and the people who run it are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, profits or business, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service or its output. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
