The Living Voice

A person’s voice is not a thing to take lightly.

We build with cloned voices — your own journal read back to you, a family voice kept for the people who outlive it. That only stays a gift and never becomes a liability if the consent underneath it is real. So here is exactly how we handle it, in plain terms, and what you can always do about it.

01

You sign the exact terms — it’s not a checkbox

Before we clone your voice you read the specific words you’re agreeing to and sign them. Cloning is blocked until you do. The wording is frozen and fingerprinted the moment you sign, so what you agreed to can never be quietly changed underneath your signature.

02

You keep the record

You get a self-contained certificate of exactly what you agreed to and when — no app, no account, no link back to us required to open it. It’s yours to download and keep. Evidence that lives only on a company’s server asks you to trust the company about what you agreed to; this doesn’t.

03

You can withdraw — and it actually stops

Consent is withdrawable at any time. Withdrawing doesn’t erase the record of what you once agreed to — it adds a note that it no longer applies — and it retires the clone, so your voice isn’t used for new audio. A record of consent is evidence, never a cage.

04

Your voice only ever speaks your words

A clone of your voice narrates your own content — your journal, your capsules, reminders toward goals you set — to people you named. It is never used to narrate anyone else’s content, and no one else’s voice is used to narrate yours.

05

For someone who has died, we play back — we don’t ventriloquize

The hardest line, and the one we hold most firmly: we narrate the words a person actually left. We do not generate new sentences in a dead person’s voice. The difference between a memorial and a séance is whether the words are theirs, and we stay on the memorial side of it.

What this is, and what it isn’t

Signing is a real electronic agreement — the exact text, your typed name, and the time, associated with a document fingerprint. That’s what the law (ESIGN / UETA) actually requires for an ordinary agreement. It is not identity verification and not a notarial act, and we never dress it up as one — no “legally binding,” no “certified,” no “notarized” anywhere on the record. Where a situation genuinely needs contested-identity-grade proof, this is the wrong tool and we’ll say so. We would rather under-claim what we built than borrow gravity it hasn’t earned.
