Frequently Asked Questions​

Do I need an account to use the free plan? Yes. A free account is required to track your weekly word usage.

Can I switch from email sign-in to Google later? If you signed up with the same email address that your Google account uses, contact support to link them.

What happens to my data if I sign out? Your account data is stored on TalkWriter's servers. Signing out only ends your local session. Signing back in restores everything.

I forgot my email password. What do I do? Click Forgot Password on the sign-in screen to receive a password reset email.
