Terms

Conditions for using johnvangeem.com and the transcription beta.

Authorized use only

Use the transcription service only for media you own or are authorized to copy, process, and transcribe. A publicly viewable URL is not proof of permission. Do not capture recordings in a way that infringes copyright, privacy, publicity, or other rights.

Third-party video services

Your use of Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, or another source remains subject to that service's terms. You open and play the source yourself. After you approve the browser prompt, the browser shares the selected tab's audio with this service; the server does not fetch the media URL or receive your account credentials.

Draft notation

Transcriptions are generated automatically and may contain wrong notes, rhythms, keys, voices, or layout. They are provided as editable drafts without a guarantee of note-perfect accuracy. Choral lyrics are not included in version 1. Review all output before relying on it.

Beta limits

Access may be limited, suspended, or changed during the beta. Each capture is limited to 500 MB and 12 minutes. Tab-audio capture varies by browser and source; Chrome or Edge is recommended. DRM-protected media, window or monitor audio, and sources a browser will not share are not supported. Automated abuse or attempts to interfere with the service may result in access being restricted.

Privacy

Media retention and deletion are described in the privacy notice.

Effective August 8, 2026.
