Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about installation, updates, and licensing on the Microsoft Store.
[Vox Reader]Does Vox Reader work completely offline?
Yes. Voice synthesis is performed 100% on your local computer using packaged neural models. No internet connection is ever required for reading or playback.
[Vox Reader]Is there a recurring monthly subscription?
No. Vox Reader offers a generous free tier (3 hours listening every week, resetting Monday) and a single one-time purchase of $18.99 for permanent unlimited Pro access.
[Vox Reader]What document formats are supported?
EPUB, plain text (.txt), and pasted clipboard articles are supported in the free version. Pro unlocks text-based PDF documents and Microsoft Word (.docx) files.
[Cropmark]How is Cropmark redaction different from normal screenshot tools?
Standard screenshot tools often just draw a colored rectangle on top of pixels, leaving sensitive data recoverable under contrast adjustment or file extraction. Cropmark permanently wipes and zeros out the covered bitmap pixels from memory before saving.
[Cropmark]Are exports watermarked?
Never. Both the Free version and Pro tier export clean images and PDFs with zero watermarks.
[Cropmark]What does Cropmark Pro add?
Pro unlocks batch multi-image export, merging several screenshots into a single multi-page PDF, and saved custom style presets.
[Still-Lane]Does Still-Lane send my computer activity to any server?
No. All usage data is stored strictly in a local SQLite database on your device. There is no cloud account, no remote dashboard, and zero employer surveillance capability.
[Still-Lane]Will Still-Lane close my applications or delete unsaved work?
Never. Still-Lane treats you as an autonomous adult. When a budget is reached, it displays a clear full-screen reminder that you can intentionally snooze or override.
[Still-Lane]What is the pricing model?
Still-Lane includes a 15-day free trial directly through the Microsoft Store, followed by a single $14.99 one-time purchase with no subscription.
