Effective May 14, 2026
Speechmark is provided by ChakraBit Solutions LLP ("ChakraBit", "we", "us"), a limited liability partnership registered in India and operating under the Speechmark name. Our public site is chakrabit.com and you can reach us at [email protected].
By installing, opening, or using the Speechmark macOS app ("Speechmark", "the app"), you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
When you pay for Speechmark (or use it free during the beta), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on Macs that you personally own or control, for your own personal or internal business use. You may not redistribute, sublicense, resell, or reverse-engineer the app, and you may not remove or alter any branding, copyright, or license notices.
Speechmark records audio your Mac can hear. That gives you a lot of responsibility. You agree that:
We do not monitor what you record — we have no way to — and we are not your record-keeper or your lawyer. If something you record causes a legal problem, that problem is yours.
Speechmark can optionally use one of several language-model providers to produce summaries: Apple Foundation Models (on-device), a local Ollama server you run yourself, or — bring-your-own-key — Anthropic Claude or OpenAI. When you enable a third-party provider, you are also bound by that provider's terms of service and privacy policy, in addition to ours. We don't control their services and aren't responsible for how they operate, how they price, or what they do with data they receive once it reaches them.
You can read our breakdown of exactly what is sent to each provider on the privacy page.
Speechmark is sold for a one-time price (currently US$79). Payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record and handles taxes, card processing, and storage of payment details. We do not see or store your card information. After a successful purchase, we send you a license key by email; that key authorises use on Macs you personally own or control under the license described in section 2.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase, no questions asked. To request a refund, reply to your purchase email or write to [email protected]. Refunds are issued through Lemon Squeezy back to the original payment method. Once a refund is issued, the corresponding license key is revoked.
During the closed-beta period the app is provided free of charge to invited testers. Because we are still iterating, the beta is provided strictly as-is: features may change, break, or be removed; builds may be replaced or expire; and the beta program itself may be paused or wound down at our discretion. We may, on reasonable notice, reset or delete data we hold about beta applicants and beta-issued license keys before general availability.
Beta testers who provide meaningful feedback may be offered a founding-customer price at general availability. That offer is at our discretion and not a contractual entitlement.
Speechmark is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. Transcription and summarization are imperfect — speakers get misattributed, words get misheard, and summaries can omit or misstate things that matter. Don't rely on a Speechmark output for legal, medical, financial, safety-critical, or other consequential decisions without checking the source recording and using your own judgment.
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Speechmark and its makers are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the app. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim related to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim arose, or fifty US dollars, whichever is greater.
We may update these Terms when the app changes or the law changes. When we do, we'll bump the effective date at the top of this page and call out material changes in the release notes for the version that introduces them. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
