Privacy Policy

Effective: January 1, 2026 · Last updated: January 1, 2026

Scribeus is designed from the ground up to process your content locally, without transmitting it anywhere. This policy explains what little data exists and how it is handled.

What data we collect

None of your text or audio. The text you enter and the audio Scribeus generates never leave your browser. There is no upload step — synthesis happens entirely within your device.

Anonymous analytics (optional, via Google AdSense). Scribeus displays non-personalized ads via Google AdSense to cover hosting costs. AdSense may collect standard, anonymized browser signals (page URL, browser type, general geographic region) in accordance with Google's privacy policy. No personally identifiable information is collected by Scribeus itself.

Local storage

Scribeus stores two things in your browser's IndexedDB:

• The Kokoro-82M model binary (~155 MB) — to avoid re-downloading on repeat visits.
• Speaker embedding vectors (voice .bin files, <100 KB each) — cached on first use of each voice.

These files contain no user data. You can clear them at any time via your browser's storage settings or by clearing site data for this domain.

Cookies

Scribeus sets no first-party cookies. Google AdSense may set third-party cookies for ad frequency capping. You can opt out of personalized ads via Google's ad settings.

Third-party services

The Kokoro model and voice files are fetched from Hugging Face (huggingface.co) on first load. ONNX Runtime Web is loaded from jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net). Google Fonts is used for typography. These services have their own privacy policies and may log standard HTTP request data (IP address, user agent).

Children's privacy

Scribeus does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. The service contains no registration mechanism and collects no personal data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the tool or applicable law. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of Scribeus after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
