Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated

Synthetic speech is powerful. This policy is part of our Terms of Service and applies to every request, every voice and every account. It includes the use restrictions that come with the speech model we build on. If you're unsure whether a use is allowed, ask us first at .

1. Never use the Service to

• Impersonate a real person without their permission, or generate audio suggesting a real person said something they did not say.
• Deceive or defraud: scams, phishing, fake emergency calls, fraudulent robocalls, or "voice of a relative" schemes.
• Defeat security: bypass voice biometrics, voice-based identity verification or authentication systems.
• Interfere with elections or civic processes, including voter suppression, impersonating candidates or officials, or deceptive political content.
• Harass, threaten, bully or intimidate anyone, or promote violence or hatred against people based on protected characteristics.
• Create sexual content involving minors, or sexual content using a real person's voice without their consent.
• Break the law, including laws on privacy, publicity rights, consumer protection, telemarketing and robocalls, and intellectual property.

2. Voice cloning rules

• Only clone your own voice, or a voice whose speaker gave you clear, informed, written permission covering how you'll use it. Keep that permission and produce it if we ask.
• Never clone a public figure, celebrity or performer without documented authorization, or a minor without verifiable parental or guardian consent.
• Never clone a voice from recordings of a person who doesn't know about it, such as phone calls, voicemails, videos or podcasts.
• If the speaker withdraws permission, delete the voice.

3. Disclosure

Where a listener could reasonably believe they're hearing a real person, or where the law requires it (for example, automated calls or political advertising in many places), clearly disclose that the voice is AI-generated.

4. Platform integrity

• Don't share API keys publicly or embed them in apps or web pages that end users can inspect. Proxy requests through your own server.
• Don't create multiple accounts to collect free allotments or get around limits or enforcement.
• Don't attempt to extract model weights, other customers' voices or data, or to probe, overload or disrupt the Service.

5. If you build on us

If you let your own users generate speech through your product, you're responsible for their use too. Pass these rules on to them, and have a way to handle reports.

6. Enforcement

We may remove content or cloned voices, revoke keys, suspend or close accounts, and report illegal activity to law enforcement. For serious violations such as fraud, non-consensual impersonation or child safety, we act without warning and forfeit remaining credit. We may also share relevant records, including consent records, with law enforcement or with a person whose voice was misused, where the law allows.

7. Report misuse

Heard your voice where it shouldn't be? Report it here. We review every report.
