Hi,
The echo does allow you to see a history of all previous recordings sent to Amazon (Settings > History), along with the actual voice samples that were sent.
Now granted, I don't think you'd be able to ensure that all packets that were sent corresponded to what is displayed there, but you can estimate it based on the sizes of packets and maximum data that could be sent. Would a proxy server that you controlled resolve your concerns? Or is it more "I don't know what's happening on the backend"?

Wow, that makes it even more creepy. Imagine e.g. your significant other accessing this log and finding things they aren't supposed to find.
- archgoon 10y agoYou are able to delete items from this log; this is no different than your browser's search history. You simply cannot have this both ways though; you can either be ephermal, or you can be auditable. I personally find the log to be very useful and interesting (as well as a free annotation source for my own projects). I guess the main take away from this thread is that some people are just going to be creeped out by this sort of technology. And that's okay.

- dreamcompiler 10y agoThanks. I wasn't aware of the history feature. It's not a complete solution, but it helps.
