Terms of use

Last updated 9 November 2026. These terms are short on purpose.

Who provides this

millirec is made by Robert Wilcox ("we"). You can reach us at robmwilc@gmail.com.

What millirec is

This website: demos, documentation and a character builder that runs in your browser.
Downloads: the ready-made character recognizers, the libraries you build yourself, the handwriting input, and the millirec npm package. They run entirely on the page you put them on and do not talk to us.
Self-hosted servers: the widgets server (drawn reactions and ratings) and the codes server, which you download and run yourself. millirec.com does not run these for other sites.

Licence

The npm package, the self-hosted servers and the recognizer files you download are released under the MIT licence: you may use them on your own sites and in your own apps, commercial or not, under its terms. Training samples you draw or upload into a library remain yours.

If you run a server

You are the operator of that server and responsible for what it stores and shows, including visitors' drawings on a reactions wall, and for telling your visitors what it collects.
Use the allowed-sites setting to keep other websites from using it, and moderation if drawings will be shown in public.
Do not use the widgets or codes to collect anything they were not made for, or for anything unlawful, deceptive or harassing.

Accuracy

Handwriting recognition makes mistakes. The accuracy figures on this site were measured on held-out writing and say what they say, nothing more. Do not rely on a recognizer where a misread could cause harm without a way for the writer to check and correct it.

Changes

We may change or remove any part of the website or the downloads. Published npm versions stay available on npm.

No warranty, limited liability

Everything here is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from its use or unavailability. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state of South Carolina, USA.
