SpeakStar — Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-08-05
By using SpeakStar ("the app"), provided by Sakura5, you agree to these terms.
License
We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app on your Apple devices, subject to the App Store Terms of Service.
Price
SpeakStar is free in full: it has no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywall and no advertising.
For children, with a parent
SpeakStar is designed for children roughly 4 to 10 years old, and we assume a parent or guardian sets it up and agrees to these terms on the child's behalf. Please help your child with the first run, and with the microphone permission in particular.
No educational guarantee
SpeakStar reports which words of a sentence a speech recogniser heard and awards stars for an attempt. It is practice, not assessment: it does not measure individual phonemes, it does not certify a level of English, and we make no guarantee about learning outcomes.
Third-party content
The 44 IPA reference recordings are used under CC BY-SA 3.0 or as public-domain material from Wikimedia Commons, and are credited inside the app. Those recordings remain under their own licences; the rest of the app's content is ours and is licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use inside the app.
Acceptable use
Use the app lawfully and don't attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it.
Disclaimer
The app is provided "as is" without warranties. AI-generated content may be inaccurate; review it before relying on it.
