An institute for blind people wants to use the voices to make royalty free books available in audio format for download. This is neither personal nor educational use. The institute must contact us for a professional and commercial publishing license.

A museum wants to use the voices to create a guided audio-visual tour. Because a museum is not an official educational institution such as a school, college or university, the museum must contact us for a professional and commercial publishing license.

Some educational licensing examples

A French teacher wants to use the voices as part of a podcast about medieval music. If this is a hobby project not commissioned by the school or done in the school’s time, a standard single user license is all that is required. If this is part of school-related work a Teacher Kit should be purchased as it includes an educational publishing license. The required credits for use of the voices must in that case be included.

A geography teacher wants to use the voices in a video about volcanoes that he is making for use with the 24 video iPods that the school purchased for use in the classroom. In this case a Teacher Kit license is required as it permits use of audio files on multiple playback devices. This license also allows the teacher to put the video online if he includes the required credits for use of the voices.

A PC-based school wants to buy a Mac and iPods and use the voices to create multimedia content for playback on the iPods. The teachers can share that Mac and get a single Teacher Kit if they will use the material on 50 or fewer iPods. If they also want to deploy the material on the 200 PCs the school has they should buy 3 extra Educational audio use and publishing licenses.

A school wants to use the voices to create audio material for their 1 to 1 iPod student program. A Teacher Kit or educational audio use and publishing license should be purchased for each teacher that will make content for the iPods. For example, if 4 teachers share a single Mac to create the content one Teacher Kit is needed and 3 educational audio use and publishing licenses. Discounts apply for large numbers of teachers.

A school wants to use GhostReader with a mobile Mac lab so that students can use the software for language learning. A classroom license can be purchased for this purpose.

A college wants to use Infovox iVox in their Mac lab so that students can use the software for creating multimedia content on the 45 computers in the lab. A classroom license can be purchased for this purpose. If the students want to put the result of their work online an educational publishing license should be purchased as well for each teacher using the lab. Alternatively, instead of the classroom license a school license could be purchased, which already includes 6 educational publishing licenses. The required credits for use of the voices should be included for any material put online.

The English and French departments in a university want to use the voices for creating podcasts that students can listen to on their own iPods. Each professor should purchase a Teacher Kit. Or, if each department shares a single Mac to create the content two Teacher Kits plus a number of educational audio use and publishing licenses.

A school already owns a school license for GhostReader and now wants to create an audio version of the school newsletter that is made available to parents on the internet. This is not allowed because the content is not educational and the use is not primarily for the classroom or teaching. The school must contact us for a professional and commercial publishing license.
