5. About This Project

Voice Agent was created as a personal, non-commercial project by a developer who wanted to improve their own English pronunciation. As a non-native English speaker, the developer found that most pronunciation tools were expensive or paid-only, so they built this free alternative.

This tool is shared freely in the hope that it may help others in similar situations. It is not a professional service and should not be relied upon as such.

6. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Use the service for lawful, educational purposes only
• Not misuse or abuse the service
• Ensure you have proper microphone permissions
• Use a compatible browser (Chrome, Edge recommended)
• Take full responsibility for your own learning and practice
• Not rely on this tool as your sole method of language learning

7. No Professional Advice

Voice Agent does NOT provide professional language instruction, speech therapy, or educational services. The feedback provided is automated and may contain errors. Always consult qualified language instructors or speech professionals for serious learning needs.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of Voice Agent are owned by the developer and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. This is a personal project shared for free use.

9. Third-Party Services

This service uses browser-based speech recognition APIs (provided by your browser) and may display third-party advertisements. The developer is NOT responsible for:

• Third-party content or services
• Browser API functionality or accuracy
• Data collected by third parties

10. Modifications to Service

The developer reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Voice Agent at any time without notice or liability.
