A brief synopsis would be nice for those of us unable to play video at the moment.

Basically it seems that some things trigger the phone to record at random times. It records things when you say "OK Google" in order to perfect it's voice recognition for you....but it's also being triggered somehow and recording when you don't realize it.

Go to history.google.com and look at "Voice & Audio Activity" to see if you have any files saved in your account history.



No voice history for me since I use an iPhone.

One of my biggest complaints is the way that Siri simply can't figure out my accent. I'm way closer to doing the weather on the local newscast in Des Moines Iowa than I am doing a cover of The Cajun Night Before Christmas.

But it never understands me unless I sound like Siri herself...

Exactly. I hate having to overly enunciate just to find out some random information. I'm not freaking Bobby Boucher by any means.

except Apple does the exact same thing:

there was an AMA on reddit awhile back from the guy that combed through all of the recordings from iDevices... all day, every day, and that was the entirety of his job

Other than when I am half asleep, Google understand everything I say. Even knows when I say Salvatore Ferragamo or Yves saint laurent

whats creepier still is your phone is sitting idle across the room & you and your wife are talking about a trip to disneyworld.

then you go pick up your phone and type 'd' and the first suggestion is 'disneyworld vacations'

Doesn't happen to me ever. I wonder if it has something to do with all of your anti-Amazon aka anti-American rhetoric

I've been getting away with saying "Ok Goo" and it works damn near flawlessly

By looks of my audio history, google must think my voice sounds like a garbled mess of radio and tv commercials.

I didn't hear my voice once.
