terms

SpeakingMonkey is a free pronunciation-practice service operated by Moltu Digital. You can use the core practice loop without an account. These terms apply whenever you use the service.

Pronunciation scores are automated estimates based on Azure Speech and SpeakingMonkey's scoring model. They can be affected by microphones, noise, accents, provider errors, and model limitations. They are learning feedback—not certification, diagnosis, or professional advice.

Do not misuse the service, evade limits, automate excessive requests, interfere with its operation, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, upload unlawful material, or use it to harm others. Access may be limited when reasonably necessary to protect the service or its providers.

You are responsible for access to your email or Google account and for activity through your SpeakingMonkey account. Do not create accounts to evade limits or transfer access to automated users. You can sign out at any time; contact Moltu Digital to request account deletion.

Pro is optional; the core fixed-sentence practice loop remains free. Pro renews monthly at $9.99 USD or yearly at $99.99 USD until canceled, with no trial. Paddle is the merchant of record and shows the final tax and billing total before purchase. You can cancel through the customer portal; access continues through the paid billing period. You may request a refund of the initial subscription payment within 14 days after the subscription begins. This refund window does not restart when the subscription renews. Refunds and statutory withdrawals are handled by Paddle. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Classroom access, assignments, progress reporting, pricing, and payment are agreed separately with each school or teacher. Sending a classroom inquiry does not place an order or create a paid subscription. A written quote and classroom agreement set the scope before access is arranged.

Pro includes custom-text practice and up to 1,000 scored attempts in a continuously replenishing 24-hour window. It does not provide unmetered Azure calls. Reasonable technical and abuse controls may apply, and availability can depend on the speech providers supporting the submitted language and text.

You keep any rights you have in material you submit. You permit Moltu Digital and its processors to handle it only as needed to score an attempt, generate a custom reference you request, receive feedback, operate the service, and meet legal duties. The retention periods and providers are described in the privacy notice.

The app, scoring implementation, interface, reference recordings, and curated content are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may use them through the service for personal practice, but may not copy, resell, scrape, or redistribute them as a competing dataset or service without permission.

The service may change, pause, or stop, and individual languages or features may be corrected or removed. Reasonable care is taken, but uninterrupted or error-free availability is not promised.

Nothing in these terms limits rights or liability that cannot legally be limited. Otherwise, Moltu Digital is not responsible for indirect loss or for decisions made solely from an automated score. If a problem is caused by SpeakingMonkey, contact Moltu Digital so it can be investigated.

Norwegian law applies. Consumers keep any mandatory protections and may use the courts or complaint bodies available under applicable law. Questions can be sent to:
