Terms of use

Last updated: 1 November 2026

Overtext is free. Use it as much as you like. Its translations are made by a machine and can be wrong, so do not rely on them alone for important decisions. The app is offered as it is, and Swedish law governs these terms.

These terms are an agreement between you and Daniel Han, an individual developer in Sweden, about the Overtext app for iPhone and this website. By installing or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not install the app. Apple's standard licence agreement for apps from the App Store (the Licensed Application End User License Agreement) also applies.

What you may do

You get a personal, non-exclusive licence to install and use Overtext on iPhones you own or control, for as long as these terms last. The offline translation costs nothing and has no limit. There is no advertising.

If paid features are added later, their price and terms will be shown in the app before you buy anything, and purchases will go through Apple.

What you may not do

• Sell, rent or charge anyone for access to the app.
• Copy, republish or redistribute the app, its artwork or its text as your own.
• Take the app apart, decompile it or work back to its source code, except where the law allows this despite this clause.
• Use the app to break the law or anyone else's rights.

About the translations

Overtext reads text with Apple's text recognition and translates it with Google ML Kit, on your phone. Both are automatic. The result can contain mistakes: a word read wrongly, a name translated as a common word, a sentence with the wrong meaning, or text left out.

• A translation from Overtext is not a certified or official translation.
• It is not legal, medical or financial advice.
• For anything important, such as a decision from an authority, a contract, a bill or advice about your health, check the original with a person who reads the language, or ask the sender.

You decide what you do with a translation, and you are responsible for checking it where it matters.

The text you translate

The screens you translate belong to you or to whoever wrote them. Overtext claims no rights in them and does not receive them (see the privacy policy). If you save or share a translated screenshot, you are responsible for having the right to do so.

What belongs to whom

The app, its name, its icon, its artwork, its text and its design belong to Daniel Han. Using the app gives you no ownership of any of it.

Some parts come from others and keep their own terms. Translation uses Google ML Kit, under Google's ML Kit terms. Crash reports use Firebase Crashlytics, a Google service. Text recognition and the shortcut use Apple's own iOS features. The Overtext wordmark is drawn from the Nunito typeface, used under the SIL Open Font License. Nothing in these terms limits the rights those licences give you.

Offered as it is

The app is provided as it is and as available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty that it fits a particular purpose, that its translations are accurate, or that it is free of faults. If you find a bug, please write and say so.

Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law, including Swedish and European consumer law. Where such a right conflicts with a sentence in these terms, your right wins.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Daniel Han is not liable for indirect or consequential loss caused by using the app or by relying on a translation, including lost data, lost time, missed deadlines or missed appointments. Liability is not excluded for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow to be excluded.

Availability and changes

The app may change, and features may be added or removed. It may one day stop being published. If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

Swedish law governs these terms, and disputes go to the Swedish courts. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the European Union, you keep the right to rely on the mandatory consumer law of your country, and to bring a claim in your local courts where that law allows it.
