Notice
SonaCap includes third-party software and model assets used for optional local speech recognition fallback. Those components remain owned by their respective authors and are subject to their own license terms.
This page summarizes the third-party components currently bundled with, linked by, or materially used by the iOS app. Components that were tested during development but are not included in the app, such as RNNoise, are not listed here.
Current Bundled or Linked Components
WhisperKit / Argmax OSS Swift
Use: optional local speech recognition fallback when Apple Speech has difficulty recognizing audio.
Source: argmaxinc/argmax-oss-swift
License: MIT License. The Argmax OSS project also includes upstream notices for components derived from Hugging Face swift-transformers under Apache License 2.0.
MIT notice: Copyright (c) 2024 argmax, inc. Permission is granted to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the software subject to the MIT License terms, including preservation of the copyright and permission notice.
OpenAI Whisper Base Model Assets
Use: model and tokenizer assets used by WhisperKit for optional local fallback speech recognition.
Source: OpenAI Whisper base model assets converted for Core ML through argmaxinc/whisperkit-coreml; original model reference: openai/whisper.
License: OpenAI's Whisper repository states that Whisper code and model weights are released under the MIT License. The Hugging Face model card for openai/whisper-base lists Apache License 2.0. SonaCap preserves both source references for the bundled converted model assets.

Apple System Frameworks
SonaCap uses Apple platform frameworks such as Speech, Translation, ReplayKit, WebKit, Core ML, AVFoundation, StoreKit, and SwiftUI. These are provided by Apple as part of the Apple developer platform and are governed by Apple's developer agreements and platform terms.
Development-only or Not Bundled
Swift Argument Parser may appear in local Swift Package resolution because it is used by command-line tools in upstream packages, but it is not linked into the SonaCap iOS app target. RNNoise was evaluated during development and removed from the app before release.
