This. 30* 24* 3600* 22000/(8e9) = 7.8 gigabytes per month for 24/7 surveillance at the bare minimum (AFAIK) of 22 kbps mono audio.

- TheSpiceIsLife 10y ago2.83GB. Voice sounds fine at 8kbps. Reduce it even further if all you need is to understand what's being said.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoStill, that would light up your data usage like a christmas tree.
- Dylan16807 10y agoDo you connect to wifi at least once a month?
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoYou can also show per-app data usage over wifi on Android (it's a single click away on stock Android). If Google Now was transferring 2.8 GB of data each month, someone would have noticed. Also, the high battery usage argument.
- khedoros 10y agoIf they were streaming spy data like that, I suspect that they wouldn't report the data usage. IMO, battery life is the strongest indicator that they aren't.
- satysin 10y agoWho says it would use up your data usage? Of course this would require the network operator to allow it but it isn't anywhere near impossible to do without the user knowing.
- EGreg 10y agoThat assumes people are speaking all the time -- the onboard processor can in fact translate most of the speech into text you know.
- nitrogen 10y agoYou only need to transmit if you detect frequencies in the range of human speech, and only in batches that can be masked with other data transfers.
