Recording responsibly
trill is built for one person learning from what they watch. A few habits keep it that way: respect the shows, and respect the people nearby.
Your recordings are for your study only
trill captures audio so you can study it: replay a line, shadow it, look up a word. Keep it that way. Don’t upload, post, sell or share recordings, transcripts or clips, and don’t use trill as a way to download or keep copies of shows.
trill is designed around that. Full recordings are kept for 30 days, and after that only short clips of the sentences you study remain.
Follow your streaming service’s rules
The terms of Netflix, YouTube and every other service still apply to you while you use trill. trill isn’t affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any streaming service, and it doesn’t bypass copy protection. It only hears what your device is already playing.
Mind the people around you
The iOS app listens through your iPhone’s microphone, and the web app can mix in your microphone. Either one can pick up people talking nearby.
- Let people in the room know trill is listening.
- Pause or stop when someone starts a conversation that isn’t part of the show.
- If a session caught something private, delete it. That removes it from our servers.
Don’t record people without their consent
trill isn’t a tool for recording conversations, calls, meetings or classes. Many places, including several US states such as California and Washington, require everyone being recorded to agree. Recording someone without the consent the law requires is against our Terms, and you’re responsible for following the laws where you are.
