Terms of Use

Effective September 5, 2026

What Ditty provides

Ditty turns a short message into a private 30-second musical note. The service combines an explicitly selected English or Spanish synthetic voice, or an instrumental-only route, with an original browser-arranged instrumental. It is a lightweight communication tool, not a translation, professional music production, or rights-clearance service.

Who may use it

You must be at least 18 years old and able to agree to these terms. Do not use Ditty on behalf of a child.

Your message

You are responsible for the words you submit and must have the right to use them. Do not submit confidential contact details, threats, harassment, unlawful sexual content, copyrighted lyrics you do not control, requests to imitate a real artist, or requests to clone a real person’s voice.

Generated output

Outputs may contain mistakes, unusual pronunciation, or similarities created by chance. A short pronunciation check confirms only how one hinted phrase sounded in that attempt; it does not guarantee final sentence prosody, timing, or musical placement. Ditty does not promise uniqueness, copyright ownership, non-infringement, or suitability for commercial release. Do not present a synthetic voice as a real person.

Private links and replies

Anyone who has a private link—or a QR/print card containing it—may open it. Do not share either more widely than intended. The creator chooses a one-, three-, or seven-day expiry, bounded by the service maximum. Correcting a Ditty creates a separate private link; the earlier and corrected links both remain active unless the creator explicitly deletes one or it expires. Ditty does not automatically replace or redirect an earlier link. A musical reply may attach privately to the original active Ditty. Attachment does not prove that the original creator opened, read, or played it. Only a browser holding the independent creator-management key can check generic reply links; a recipient share link alone is not enough. Closing a system share sheet does not prove delivery. Ready-to-send copy and the generic QR card omit the message, sender, title, management key, and audio.

Editing and recipient access

The live recipient preview, voice-route suggestion, Help me write helper, correction context, local revision labels, send-readiness check, Make another like this, New message with the same settings, and Start fresh run in the browser. A creator may explicitly send one bounded pronunciation hint to the selected English or Spanish voice for a short phrase check before creation; this does not create or modify a Ditty and is not a guarantee of final prosody or musical timing. Previewing or changing local composer settings does not create, translate, replace, delete, or revoke a private Ditty. Deleting an earlier corrected version requires a separate explicit confirmation and does not affect the newer link. A recipient page does not request the private message or audio until the recipient chooses Read or Play. Read message instead does not start audio or create a read receipt.

Saved and shared audio copies

Share private link sends only the private URL and generic invitation, not an audio attachment. Share audio copy is a separate optional action under More actions; it and Download WAV use no additional creation. The private link can expire or be revoked, but deleting or expiring that link cannot revoke audio copies already downloaded, saved, or shared to another app. A shared audio file is not protected by the recipient page’s Play-or-Read gate. Link-only sharing does not prevent the recipient from saving audio after opening the link.

Availability

The free service has daily capacity and abuse limits. A voice provider failure may produce an instrumental-only result. We may change or stop the service without guaranteeing that a Ditty remains available.

Reporting and removal

Creators can delete a Ditty from its result screen. Recipients can use Hide & report on the private listening page. The action hides the note on that browser and stores a reason category plus an abuse-prevention identifier; it does not promise human review, global removal, or a response time.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Ditty is provided “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of a generated or shared Ditty.
