Have you missed big fat "Send Microsoft info about how I write to help us improve typing and writing in the future" in the privacy section of settings?
> The only place keystrokes get sent that we know
We don't know how it works. I've searched and there's only baseless speculation (hello) that it's benign but there aren't any official documents detailing how it works that would dispel many people's reservations.
> The only place keystrokes get sent that we know of is the Cortana field for web searches, and you can turn that off even pre-SP1.
How do you KNOW that? The setting mentioned above doesn't mention Cortana, one would expect the setting mention Cortana if it only pertained to that subsystem.
- KirinDave 10y agoSorry, no previews.
- KirinDave 10y agoOh by the way, I knew I remmebered this. The specific setting your referring to has to do with helping Cortana recognize unusual words and common phrase in your vocabulary, according to Microsoft. All the speech services are supposed to be kept off cloud for desktop machines, so presumably this particular feature is more about sync and correction rates.
- RaleyField 10y agoMind providing link that would prove this? I looked a decent amount of time and couldn't find anything relevant other than a few articles on how to disable settings or providing some vagueries. If it exists this explanation certainly isn't front and center, perhaps an obscure C9 video?
