1. Data We Process
TinySpeak records audio only when you actively start a voice input action. The recording is used to generate transcription text. The transcription result may be displayed in the app and, if auto paste is enabled, inserted into the text field selected by the user.
To provide transcription, audio is sent over HTTPS to the configured speech recognition service. That service returns transcription text and may process audio and text according to its own service terms.
2. Android Accessibility Service
TinySpeak uses Android Accessibility Service to provide assistive voice input for users with motor or dexterity impairments. It detects whether the current focus is on an editable text field, shows the TinySpeak voice input button, and inserts user-dictated text into that field after recording.
TinySpeak does not use accessibility access to read passwords, monitor unrelated activity, sell or share accessibility data, or perform automated actions unrelated to assistive voice input.
3. Permissions
- Microphone: Records voice input that you actively start.
- Network: Sends audio to the transcription service and receives text results.
- Foreground service and notifications: Keeps recording status visible while voice input is running.
- Overlay-related permission flow: Opens the system permission screen when required.
- Accessibility service: Detects editable fields, shows the button, and inserts user-dictated text.
4. Retention and Deletion
Temporary recording files may be created during transcription. After processing, TinySpeak deletes temporary files where that flow is implemented. You may also clear app data or uninstall the app through system settings.
