Your voice stays yours.

What the app stores

Your preferences and up to 200 recent practice summaries—such as sound, word, score, language, and time—are stored locally on your device. Raw microphone recordings are not retained by L & N.

How speech is analyzed

In the iOS, Android, and watchOS apps, recognition is requested through the operating system’s speech services. The native apps do not send recordings to an L & N server. Your device and platform settings determine whether the operating system performs recognition on-device or through its own service.

In supported browsers, L & N normally requests the browser’s speech-recognition feature. Whether that recognition runs on-device or through the browser or platform provider is controlled by that browser and platform. On iPhone and iPad web, the app avoids running a second recognizer beside the recorder so that one microphone stream can reliably supply the visible waveform.

When browser recognition is unavailable, fails, or returns no usable text—including the iPhone and iPad web path—the web app may send the user-started short recording over encrypted HTTPS to the same-origin private transcription service after recording stops. It is used only to return that attempt’s text, then discarded. It is not retained or used to train a model. If no word is returned, the app keeps the waveform visible but does not display or save a pronunciation score.

What we do not collect

• No account, name, email address, contacts, or precise location.
• No advertising identifiers, cross-app tracking, or behavioral analytics.
• No stored voice recordings or voiceprints.
• No sale or sharing of personal data for advertising.

Permissions

Microphone access is used only when you tap Record. Speech-recognition access may be requested on supported Apple platforms. You can revoke these permissions at any time in system settings.

Retention and deletion

Practice summaries remain on the device until you clear the app’s site data, remove the app, or reset its storage. Transient web transcription audio is discarded after the request. Infrastructure security logs may contain technical metadata such as timestamps and status codes, but not the recording body.

Children and health

L & N is an educational practice tool, not a medical device or a substitute for a speech-language pathologist. A parent or guardian should supervise a child’s use and the device’s permission settings.
