This Privacy Policy describes how LogicGateGames LLC handles information when you use Oratio (the "App"), a teleprompter for Android that shows your script on screen, scrolls it at a set speed or follows your voice as you read, and can record a video of you reading it. By using the App you agree to the practices described here.
1. Your Scripts And Videos Never Leave Your Phone
Your scripts, your settings and the videos you record stay on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in and no cloud. We operate no servers for your scripts or videos, so there is nowhere for them to be sent.
The App uses the internet for three things only: to talk to Google Play about your Oratio Pro purchase or subscription, to download the voice follow language you need from Google Play (section 3), and to send a crash report if the App crashes. Your scripts, your voice and your videos are not part of any of them.
2. The Microphone And Voice Follow
With voice follow on, the App listens through the microphone while you read, so the script can move as you speak. Your speech is turned into words by a speech model that runs on your phone, compared with your script, and then discarded. Voice follow itself never records, stores or sends your speech, and nobody, including us, can listen to it. (A video you record keeps its sound, like any video: see section 4.) The App listens only while the prompter is running with voice follow on: pausing, leaving the prompter or switching to another app closes the microphone, and on Android 12 and later the system shows its microphone indicator while it is open.
The App asks for the microphone permission the first time you use voice follow, after explaining why. You can say no and still use the prompter at a fixed speed, and you can withdraw the permission at any time in Android's settings.
3. Voice Follow Languages
The English speech model is part of the App. The models for the other voice follow languages are downloaded from Google Play the first time a script in that language needs one, the same way Google Play downloads the App itself. Each model is a fixed file, the same for everyone; nothing about you or your scripts is sent to get it. A downloaded model stays on your phone until you uninstall the App.
4. The Camera And Your Recordings
When you record, the App uses the camera and the microphone to make a video of you reading, with the script on screen in front of you. It asks for both permissions before your first recording, after explaining why. On Android 8 and 9 only, saving a video into your videos also needs Android's storage permission, which it asks for at the same time; it is not used for anything else. The video is saved on your phone, in your videos under "Movies/Oratio", with the script's title in its file name. From there it is yours: your gallery and other apps that can see your videos can see it, and it stays when you uninstall the App. The App does not upload, share or read back your videos. The script on screen is not part of the video.
5. Text Files You Import
You can bring a script in from a text file. The App reads only the file you pick in Android's own file picker, copies its text into a new script, and does not keep access to the file. It needs no storage permission for this.
6. Information Collected By The Services In The App
We do not collect your name, email address or phone number, and we do not sell personal information. The Google services built into the App do collect some data, and we list them here because having no server of our own is not an exemption:
- Firebase Crashlytics - If the App crashes, a report is sent so we can fix the problem. It contains the technical details of the crash, the device model, Android version, app version, a random installation ID and which app installed Oratio (for example Google Play). Reports contain no name, email or advertising ID, and none of your scripts, your voice or your videos. Reports are kept for up to 90 days.
- Google Play In-App Review - After you have used the App a few times, it may ask Google Play to show its rating sheet. Your rating goes to Google Play; the App is not told whether or how you rated it.
- Google Play Billing - Handles Oratio Pro: the monthly and yearly subscriptions and the one-time Lifetime purchase. Google tells the App whether you have it. We never see your card or payment details.
- Google Play Asset Delivery - Downloads the voice follow languages described in section 3.
7. What Is Stored On Your Device
- Your scripts: title, text, the voice follow language you chose, and when each was created and changed.
- Your prompter settings: text size, speed, countdown, mirror, voice follow on or off, and front or back camera.
- Your app settings: language and theme.
- How many times you have opened the App and how many scripts you have read or recorded to the end, used only to time the rating request.
- In the free version, how many sessions (reading or recording) you have used today, so the daily allowance can be applied.
- Whether you have bought Oratio Pro.
- The voice follow languages you have downloaded.
The App is excluded from Android's cloud backup. Settings has "Export scripts and settings", which saves one file where you choose, for a new phone; "Import scripts and settings" reads it back. Everything the App stores is removed when you uninstall it, except the videos you recorded, because those are yours.
8. Children
Oratio is a general-purpose teleprompter. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
9. Changes To This Policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
