Using Streams Reader
Streams Reader is a free service for listening to text. You need an account, and while we start out accounts are by invitation.
Use it lawfully and don’t try to break, overload or get around its limits.
Your content
What you add stays yours. Only add content you have the right to use, and keep listening to it personal.
We store and process your content only to read it to you, as described in the privacy policy.
Voices
Make a voice only from your own recordings, or with clear permission from the person speaking.
Don’t use any voice to deceive, impersonate, harass or commit fraud. We remove voices used this way.
Fair use
Expressive voices share a daily budget. We may limit use that takes much more than a fair share, so everyone keeps access.
Open source
The code is released under the MIT licence on GitHub. The voice models keep their own licences, listed on the credits page.
No guarantees
The service is provided as it is, without warranties. It may change, pause or stop, and voices can mispronounce or misread text.
To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses from using it.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms and will show the date at the top. Questions go to help@streams.watch.
