Terms of Service

Altboard is an AI-powered voice keyboard for iPhone and iPad that runs entirely on your device. These terms cover what you're agreeing to when you use it.

How it works

You install Altboard from the App Store, enable the keyboard, and dictate your first 3,000 words for free. To keep dictating after that, you buy the Full Version once, inside the app. If you bought Altboard when it was a paid download, the Full Version is already yours. No accounts, no subscriptions, no sign-in. That's our entire business model — our incentive is to make the app good enough that people recommend it.

What you get

A license to use Altboard on your Apple devices as intended. Altboard has no server infrastructure — it can't send your voice or text anywhere because that capability simply doesn't exist in the app.

Open source

Altboard's source code is available under the GNU General Public License v3. That license governs what you can do with the code — including the right to view, modify, and redistribute it under the same terms.

Fair use

Please don't redistribute the app outside the terms of the GPL license, and don't use it for anything illegal. That's about it.

No warranties

Speech recognition is impressive but not perfect. Accuracy depends on things like background noise, accent, and microphone quality. We provide Altboard "as is" — it works well, but we can't guarantee flawless transcription in every situation. To the extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for damages arising from your use of the app.

App Store

Your purchase is handled by Apple and subject to Apple's terms. If you need a refund, that goes through Apple too.
