Terms

Last updated 13 September 2026

These terms cover your use of Words at Home at wordsathome.com. Using the service means you accept them.

Words at Home is a practice tool, not treatment. It is not therapy, not a medical device, and not a substitute for care from a speech-language pathologist. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or slow any condition, and it makes no promise that practice will improve anyone's speech. Talk to a qualified clinician about care.

Who may use it

The person who holds an account must be 18 or over. The person practising may be of any age, supported by the household. By creating a household you confirm you may act for the person practising in this way, and that you will respect their wishes about being recorded.

Your content stays yours

The photos, recordings, words, and notes you add belong to you. We claim no ownership of them. We store and process them only to run the service for your household, as described in the privacy page. You can export your practice history and delete anything, including the entire household, at any time.

Recording other people

Only record someone who agrees to it. Ask the person practising in a way they can understand, and stop if they decline. Some places require the consent of everyone recorded. Meeting those rules is your responsibility.

Using it sensibly

Accounts and access

Keep your sign-in link and your devices to yourself. Anyone who can open a paired tablet can practise in that household, which is the point of pairing, so unpair a device you no longer control. An administrator may remove members or revoke devices.

Availability

The service is offered as it is, without a guarantee of uptime. It may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued. Keep your own copy of anything you would be upset to lose; the export and the original photos on your phone are the sensible backup.

No warranty

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. Speech checking in particular is imperfect: it can score a clear attempt as unclear, or the reverse, and it has not been validated for any clinical use.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for any decision taken about care on the basis of what the app shows. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Ending it

You may stop at any time and delete your household. We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken, or if we stop offering the service; where we can, we will give notice so you can export first.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect.
