I am planning an offroad vacation where I will be offline for several weeks and need a text-to-speech app for my laptop. (This is how I discovered VoiceTypr.) However, I noticed there is a OFFLINE_GRACE_PERIOD_DAYS = 7 constant in the source code, which indicates that the app requires periodic online checks. This hard 7-day limit means the app will stop working after a week of offline use, making it unsuitable for extended travel or use in air-gapped environments.
Please either remove the offline grace period entirely or extend it significantly (e.g., to 180 or 365 days). If neither as an option, make this limitation clearly visible on the website/documentation so that users are aware of it before purchasing and before going offline for extended periods.
