Question 1

Is BlaBla really free?

Accepted Answer

Yep. Completely free. No premium tier, no trial period, no 'upgrade for more features.' Just free.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Nope. Just open the app and start using it. I don't want your email, your password, or your firstborn.

Question 3

Will you add accounts/paid features later?

Accepted Answer

I have no plans to. BlaBla is a passion project, not a business. If that changes, existing features stay free.

Question 4

Do you store my speeches?

Accepted Answer

Not on any server. Your speeches are stored locally in your browser. I literally cannot see them.

Question 5

Do you track me?

Accepted Answer

I use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics (if any) to see if anyone's using this thing. No personal data, no selling to advertisers, no creepy stuff.

Question 6

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes! After your first visit, BlaBla works without an internet connection. Your speech stays on your device.

Question 7

What browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

All modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. On desktop and mobile. If your browser is from 2015, maybe update it.

Question 8

Can I use it on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. BlaBla is fully responsive. Prop your phone on the podium and present away.

Question 9

How do I adjust the scroll speed?

Accepted Answer

In the settings panel before presenting, or use the arrow keys during presentation. Up/down or left/right — I'm not picky about which you use.

Question 10

Can I save multiple speeches?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your speeches are saved in your browser and organized in a library.

Question 11

Why does it ask for microphone access?

Accepted Answer

Only if you enable voice-paced scrolling. The microphone listens to your speaking pace and adjusts scroll speed automatically. Audio is processed locally and never recorded or sent anywhere.

Question 12

I lost my speech! Can you recover it?

Accepted Answer

If it was saved in your browser's local storage, it should still be there. If you cleared your browser data... sorry, I can't help. I never had it in the first place.
