What does someone see when I share a sayit result link?

Sharing a result creates a public link to a curated, identity-free snapshot of that take — your score, the passage text, and per-word verdicts — that anyone can open with no account and no login. It never includes your name, your email, or any account information by default; the only identity you can attach is an optional first name you type in specifically for that share, if you choose to.

30-second version: Sharing is strictly opt-in — nothing gets a public link without you explicitly asking for it. The link contains your overall score, the practiced text, and up to 120 scored words with their verdicts and IPA, tied to an unguessable token rather than a sequential ID. Links expire (a year by default). Your recorded audio is never included unless you separately opt in to attach it, and if a take's score was too thin to publish honestly, the shared card says so instead of showing a number.

What can a stranger actually see if I send them a link?

Your overall score (or, if the take didn't have enough scored words to earn one, an honest note explaining why instead of a fabricated number), the passage you were practicing, and the per-word breakdown — up to 120 scored words, each with its verdict, target IPA, your IPA, and what specifically went wrong on anything flagged. They see the same kind of detail you'd see on your own results page for that take, minus anything that identifies you as the person behind it.

Does the link expose my name, email, or account?

No, not by default. The public payload is built to contain none of that — no user ID, no email, no name, nothing that ties the link back to a specific account. The one deliberate exception is a first name, and only if you type one in yourself at the moment you create that specific share — it's never pulled from your account automatically, and nothing beyond a first name is ever attached.

Can someone find other people's shared results from my link?

No — each share's link is a long, randomly generated token rather than a sequential number, so there's no way to guess or walk from one share to another. Combined with the fact that sharing is opt-in in the first place, there's no way to stumble onto results you weren't specifically sent a link to.

Does the shared link include my actual recording?

Not unless you separately choose to add it. The result snapshot itself never carries audio by default. If you explicitly opt in to attach your recorded take, it's checked to make sure it's a real, playable clip before it's published — but that's a distinct, additional choice from the basic act of sharing a score.

What happens to a link over time?

It expires — by default about a year after creation, after which opening it returns nothing rather than stale or broken data. Shares are also rate-limited, so there's a cap on how many you can create, which keeps the whole feature from being usable as a way to flood public links.

Does a shared link ever show an inflated or misleading number?

No — the same honesty rules that apply to your own results apply to a shared one. If a take didn't meet the minimum sample needed for a headline score, the shared card says so instead of publishing a number built on too little. And the per-word tally on a share correctly separates words you never got to (unread) from words you actually got wrong, so a partially-read passage doesn't misrepresent itself as a mostly-failed one.

After a scored take in sayit, look for the share option — you'll see exactly what goes into the public link before you send it, and it's your choice whether to attach your first name or audio.
