Clips and copyright

Last updated 15 November 2026

tendi teaches listening with a few seconds at a time of real speech from public YouTube videos. This page explains what that involves, and how to have a clip removed if it is yours.

How clips are used

• Every clip plays through YouTube's own embedded player, from YouTube's servers. tendi does not download, host or re-upload any video or audio.
• If a video is deleted, made private, or has embedding switched off on YouTube, its clips stop playing here straight away.
• For each clip tendi keeps the video's ID, the start and end time, and the words spoken in those few seconds. The words are needed to check what a learner typed.

If a clip is yours and you want it removed

Tell us through the feedback form. Choose "A clip or translation" and include:

• a link to the video or channel, so we can find every clip taken from it;
• a statement that you own the video or act for the owner;
• a way to reach you, if you want confirmation. The form is otherwise anonymous.

You do not need to give a reason. We remove the clips and their transcripts as soon as we read the request, normally within a few days. Switching off embedding for the video on YouTube also works, and takes effect at once.

Mistakes in a transcript

If a clip misquotes you or anyone else, report it the same way and we will correct or remove it.
