A plain-language explanation of the thinking, so you can use this comfortably.
This is not legal advice. It's a personal, non-commercial study tool, and what follows
lays out the considerations and the choices made to stay on the responsible side — it isn't a
guarantee. If you have doubts about a specific piece of content, don't load it.
What this tool is
A private study aid for a small group, reached only with a passphrase. It is not public, not
monetized, and it does not republish or share anyone's content. You read real Thai, highlight a
span, and get feedback on whether you understood the meaning — or look a word up.
The library content (Browse)
Anything you can open inside the reader from the Browse page is freely licensed:
Thai Wikipedia — Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 (reusable with attribution).
Thai Wikisource — public domain classics.
Each card links the original source and its license. Everything else in Browse — news sites,
graded-reader apps, Bloom Library — is shown as an external link that opens on its own site.
The app does not host or relicense those.
Content you bring in (paste or load a URL)
When you paste a passage, you are making a copy of something you're reading, for your own
study — much like pasting text into a translator, a dictionary, or your notes. The app then:
shows it back only to you (and, for maintenance, the tool's owner);
sends the span you test to an AI grader for feedback;
never publishes or distributes it to anyone else.
Personal, non-commercial study use like this is the kind of use that copyright systems make room
for — for example, the "research or study, not for profit" exception in Thailand's Copyright Act
(§32), and the U.S. "fair use" factors (educational purpose, and — most importantly here — no
effect on the market for the original, since this is private and sends you toward the source, not
away from it). These are arguments in your favor, not a blank cheque.
What the app deliberately does not do
No paywall bypass. Paid sources (e.g. thai2english) are link-outs only.
No public redistribution. Your content stays private to you.
Honors robots.txt. If a site asks automated tools not to fetch a page, the app won't
auto-fetch it — it asks you to open it and paste the text in yourself.
Attributes sources and surfaces licenses on the library cards.
Your part
Only load content you're allowed to read — please don't paste paywalled or
illegally-obtained material.
