This Service includes subscriptions that automatically renew. Please read these Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms") carefully before completing a purchase for our app’s auto-renewing subscription service.

To avoid being charged, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing cycle or trial period.

🛡️ Strict Data Privacy & On-Device Storage Guarantee

We prioritize your data privacy above all else. Text2Speech does not collect, store, train on, or disseminate your personal data or uploaded content.
