4. DESCRIPTION OF THE APP
TextPort is a utility application that enables users to export, back up, archive, organize, and convert message conversations and related communications into machine-generated text exports, transcripts, PDFs, CSVs, or other output.
The App may provide more than one extraction method, including:
- Screenshot / Recording Transcription. The App may use optical character recognition (“OCR”), artificial intelligence (“AI”), and third-party processing services or models to analyze screenshots and screen recordings of message conversations and generate automated transcript output from visible content.
- Desktop Backup Extraction. The companion desktop application may read data from local device backups to extract and export conversations.
Different extraction methods may produce different outputs, formats, metadata, and levels of completeness.
THE APP IS A SOFTWARE TOOL ONLY. THE APP IS NOT A LAW FIRM, LAWYER, LEGAL SERVICE, CERTIFIED COURT REPORTER, E-DISCOVERY PROVIDER, FORENSIC IMAGING SERVICE, OR PROVIDER OF CERTIFIED, OFFICIAL, OR AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPTS OR RECORDS.
TextPort does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, litigation strategy, evidentiary advice, forensic authentication, chain-of-custody services, or any guarantee regarding admissibility, authenticity, completeness, or fitness for use in any legal, regulatory, governmental, administrative, insurance, employment, or dispute-related matter.
5. AUTOMATED OUTPUT; NATURE OF TRANSCRIPTS
5.1 Automated Output
You acknowledge and agree that transcripts, exports, message attributions, timestamps, labels, formatting, and other output generated by the App may be automated and may contain errors, omissions, mistranscriptions, incorrect speaker attribution, incorrect timestamps, missing content, duplicated content, formatting defects, hallucinated content, or other inaccuracies.
5.2 Screenshot-Based Output Is Not an Original Record
For screenshot and screen-recording transcription features, output is generated from visual content supplied by the User. Such output is not a verbatim, certified, authenticated, or forensic copy of original message data. Except where expressly stated otherwise, the App does not directly access or extract data from any messaging application’s private database or storage solely by virtue of processing screenshots or recordings.
5.3 Potential Sources of Error
Without limitation, errors or inaccuracies may result from:
- image quality, low resolution, cropping, blur, glare, shadows, or compression artifacts;
- non-standard fonts, emoji, special characters, handwriting, or non-Latin scripts;
- overlapping interface elements, notifications, status bars, or partial occlusion;
- ambiguous conversation layout, reply threading, or sender attribution;
- limitations or failures of OCR, AI, or third-party processing systems; and
- incomplete screenshots, incomplete recordings, or content not visible in the submitted material.
5.4 No Guarantee of Completeness
The App processes only the material provided by the User and only the content actually captured, visible, or accessible through the selected extraction method. Messages, context, attachments, reactions, edits, deletions, metadata, or conversation history not captured in the submitted screenshots, recordings, backups, or source material may not appear in the output.
5.5 User-Editable Output
The App may permit Users to edit transcript output, including message text, sender attribution, timestamps, labels, or formatting. Any edited content is solely the User’s responsibility. TextPort may have no way to determine whether a given transcript or export has been modified by the User after generation.
6. USER VERIFICATION OBLIGATION
You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and confirming the accuracy and completeness of all output generated by the App before relying on it, sharing it, filing it, publishing it, submitting it, serving it, or using it for any personal, professional, commercial, legal, administrative, evidentiary, or archival purpose.
You acknowledge that App output is not a substitute for:
- original message data;
- native device data;
- carrier records;
- forensic device extractions;
- official business records; or
- other authenticated sources of electronic communications.
If you require authenticated, certified, or forensically sound copies of message data, you should consult a qualified digital forensics professional and/or licensed attorney.
7. LEGAL AND EVIDENTIARY USE
If you intend to use any output from the App in connection with any legal proceeding, dispute, regulatory matter, arbitration, mediation, court filing, law enforcement matter, immigration matter, insurance matter, family law matter, criminal matter, civil matter, employment matter, or any context where the accuracy, completeness, authenticity, or admissibility of message content may be material, you acknowledge and agree that:
- you are solely responsible for independently verifying the output against original sources;
- you are solely responsible for preserving and retaining underlying screenshots, recordings, source files, device backups, and other original evidence;
- you are solely responsible for determining whether any output satisfies applicable evidentiary rules, admissibility requirements, authentication standards, recordkeeping obligations, or procedural rules in the relevant jurisdiction;
- you should consult a licensed attorney or other qualified professional regarding the appropriateness and admissibility of the output; and
- TextPort makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any output will be admissible, credible, sufficient, persuasive, compliant, authenticated, or fit for any legal or evidentiary purpose.
8. NO LIABILITY FOR LEGAL OR OTHER OUTCOMES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TEXTPORT SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LEGAL, EVIDENTIARY, ADMINISTRATIVE, REGULATORY, EMPLOYMENT, IMMIGRATION, INSURANCE, FAMILY LAW, CRIMINAL, CIVIL, OR OTHER OUTCOME ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO:
- YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP;
- ANY TRANSCRIPT, EXPORT, PDF, CSV, TEXT, OR OTHER OUTPUT GENERATED BY THE APP;
- ANY ERROR, OMISSION, INACCURACY, OR INCOMPLETE PORTION OF ANY OUTPUT;
- ANY USER MODIFICATION OF OUTPUT AFTER GENERATION;
- ANY REJECTION, EXCLUSION, CHALLENGE, SANCTION, LOSS, ADVERSE INFERENCE, DISMISSAL, PENALTY, OR OTHER CONSEQUENCE IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE; OR
- ANY DECISION BY A COURT, AGENCY, EMPLOYER, INSURER, ARBITRATOR, OPPOSING PARTY, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY TO ACCEPT, REJECT, QUESTION, OR GIVE WEIGHT TO ANY OUTPUT.
9. USER CONTENT; RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions, and legal authority necessary to upload, process, export, store, and use any screenshots, videos, screen recordings, messages, images, backups, transcripts, or other content you submit to the App (“User Content”).
