It's interesting to look through the data Google collects about you. If you use voice search on a mobile device, check out https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity?restrict=vaa&utm_source=help https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity?restrict=vaa&utm_so... to see the history of audio snippets it's collected from you. It's neat to see both what the voice-to-speech system heard and how it interpreted it.
(Note: this can be disabled [https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6030020?hl=en https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6030020?hl=en], but Google is collecting it de-anonymized to build a voice model of you specifically so that speech recognition works better on all the devices using Google Voice APIs. It's being done to improve the way the service works for you).
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoTo be CLEAR: You can shut off your voice history being tied to your Google account, but if you use Google Voice Search, Google owns your voice recordings. Turning off the history merely means they permanently keep all recordings of you with anonymous identifiers. Keeping your history on, allegedly, means you can delete them manually, if you remember to, but turning your history off guarantees you can never tell them to delete the recordings, and they still keep them.
