Fair Use Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026.
This policy explains how VoiceBar defines normal use, unusual use, and prohibited use.
VoiceBar is operated by Hanan Ganon Productions. This policy describes usage limits from the user's perspective and does not disclose internal operating details.
Why This Policy Exists
VoiceBar is designed to be an accessible service at a reasonable price. To maintain stability, availability, and reasonable costs for all users, paid plans have monthly usage allowances, and limited registered access may have a non-renewing allowance. Safeguards protect against abnormal, malicious, or accidental overuse.
Plans and Usage Allowance
VoiceBar offers Regular, Pro, and Super User plans. Each paid plan has a tiered monthly usage allowance:
- Regular: $9/month, a generous allowance for normal daily work.
- Pro: $12/month, a higher allowance for users who dictate and write more throughout the day.
- Super User: $18/month, the highest allowance for more intensive use.
The allowance is shown to users as percentage used, reset date when applicable, warning or limit state, and upgrade option where available. Users are not shown internal operating details.
VoiceBar does not market the plans as absolutely unlimited. The plans are designed to feel generous and support everyday, professional, or intensive use while preserving fair use and protecting against abnormal abuse.
Normal Use
Normal use includes:
- Speaking instead of typing during everyday work.
- Writing messages, emails, documents, notes, and summaries.
- Manual use by one user.
- Use within the allowance of the active plan or entitlement.
- Use on up to two active computers under the regular plan unless a specific plan states otherwise.
- Occasional computer replacement, as long as simultaneous activity does not exceed the limit.
Unusual Use
Usage may be considered unusual if it includes:
- Volumes that are significantly higher than the allowance or ordinary user behavior.
- Continuous, automated, or scheduled usage.
- Sending files or audio in volumes that do not match ordinary human work.
- Attempting to use an account as a replacement for an enterprise transcription service, call-center system, or automation pipeline.
- Sharing an account between multiple users.
- Creating accounts or switching devices to bypass limits.
Prohibited Use
Users must not:
- Resell access to VoiceBar.
- Share an account with others.
- Bypass device, subscription, or usage limits.
- Run bots or scripts that generate automated usage.
- Use the service for illegal activity.
- Intentionally overload the system.
- Attempt to extract keys, secrets, or security mechanisms.
When the Allowance Is Reached
When allowance usage reaches about 70%, VoiceBar may show a warning that the user has used a significant part of the allowance.
When allowance usage reaches about 90%, VoiceBar may show a stronger warning that the allowance is almost exhausted.
When the allowance has been fully used, VoiceBar may block additional transcription until the reset date when the current plan has one, or until upgrade when no reset applies. If a higher plan is available, the user may see an upgrade option.
There is no credits system at launch. There are no one-time credit purchases, no stored credit balance, and no post-subscription transcription access through credits.
Possible Actions in Case of Abuse
In case of unusual or prohibited use, VoiceBar may:
- Show a warning.
- Slow down or limit usage.
- Require re-authentication.
- Require computer deactivation.
- Suggest moving to a more suitable plan.
- Suspend or terminate access in serious cases.
Guiding Principle
A real user speaking instead of typing during normal work should not have a problem as long as usage stays within the plan allowance. This policy is intended to prevent account sharing, abuse, and unfair automated usage.
