D-REC Terms of Use
Knight AI+AV LLC. Effective September 6, 2026. Updated October 18, 2026.
The service
These terms cover D-REC wherever you use it: in a browser, in the Mac and Windows desktop apps, and on iPhone and iPad. D-REC is a recorder that transcribes on your device. It records audio, lets you rewind through it, and writes a timed transcript, all on the device itself. You are responsible for having the right to record the people and rooms you record, including any consent your jurisdiction or your production requires.
Free use, accounts and Pro
Without an account, D-REC makes recordings of up to ten minutes, offers five colorways, and always lets you copy your words. A free account keeps up to three recordings on the device it was made on and gives full summaries of the first three. D-REC Pro removes those limits on the web, on the iPhone and in the Mac and Windows apps alike.
D-REC Pro is sold three ways, in US dollars or the local equivalent shown at purchase: a subscription of $3.99 per month, a subscription of $24.99 per year, or a one-time purchase of $39.99 (Pro Forever). Prices may change for new purchases; a change to a running subscription is announced by email at least 30 days before it takes effect.
The seven-day trial
The monthly and yearly subscriptions begin with seven days free. The trial starts at checkout, with a payment method on file, and it can be used once per account, whichever subscription it starts. When the seven days end the subscription starts and the payment method is charged the price shown, unless you cancel before the trial ends, in which case nothing is charged. On the web, three days before the first charge we send a reminder by email with the date, the amount, and how to cancel. On the iPhone the trial is Apple's: the renewal date is under Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions, and cancelling at least 24 hours before the trial ends means nothing is charged.
Renewal and cancellation
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until cancelled. Cancelling stops the next charge; the period already paid for runs to its end and Pro stays on until then. On the web, cancel from your account panel under MANAGE, which opens the billing portal; on the iPhone, cancel under Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription bought through Apple; cancel it there first. On the web you can also switch between the monthly and yearly subscriptions under MANAGE: a switch to yearly takes effect at once, with the unused part of the month credited against the yearly charge, and a switch to monthly takes effect when the paid year ends.
Using D-REC without a connection
Recording, transcribing, rewinding and exporting all happen on your device. Once D-REC has downloaded its speech engine, which it does the first time, none of them needs a connection. The installed apps open without one; the website needs one to load. That does not change with your plan.
What a connection is for is your plan. Pro Forever installs a licence on that computer which does not expire, so a machine that has been signed in once runs Pro from then on with no network at all; D-REC then goes online only to look for updates, to check your plan while you are signed in, to read the current prices, to ask for answers to notes you sent and, unless OPTIONAL USAGE COUNTS is off, to send the counts the Privacy Policy describes. A monthly or yearly subscription is different: it has to reach the service from time to time to confirm it is still running, so it is not a way to own an offline copy. The app says so, once, the first time it finds itself offline.
On the iPhone and iPad the same holds: once the app is installed and signed in, a purchase that never expires keeps working without a connection.
Refunds
On the web, Pro Forever carries a full refund within 14 days of purchase, and a yearly subscription carries a full refund within 14 days of its latest charge, the first one after the trial and every renewal alike. No questions asked: tap REQUEST A FULL REFUND in your account panel and the payment returns to your card within five to ten business days. A refund ends the plan, and a refunded yearly subscription stops renewing. Monthly subscriptions are cancel-any-time and the month already paid is not refunded. Purchases made through Apple are refunded by Apple under Apple's terms at reportaproblem.apple.com. Where the law of your country gives you more than this, that applies.
Your content
Everything you record belongs to you and stays on your device. We do not receive it, store it or claim any right to it.
Accounts
You may delete your account at any time from the account panel. Deleting the account ends any active plan without refund of the current period, except where the law of your country requires otherwise.
Warranty and liability
D-REC is provided as is. Speech recognition makes mistakes; verify anything that matters. To the extent permitted by law, Knight AI+AV LLC is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and its total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the twelve months before the claim.
Changes
We may update these terms; the Updated date above changes when we do. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
