Siri sends data to the cloud for processing what you're asking for, but the actual speech-to-text can work locally these days. Try it - out your iPhone in airplane mode and fire up dictation - works like a charm.
- lostlogin 10y agoCan I ask what you would dictate that doesn't need an internet connection? A note or a shopping list come to mind, but that's it for me.
- accurrent 10y agoActually I hate the fact that google sends my voice over the network , not because of privacy but because I have to pay for the additional Data sent.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoHow much do you pay for data, and how much do you dictate, for this to be an actual gripe? I assume Google encodes the data in something like iSAC [1], requiring 32 kbit/s for good quality speech, so an hour of dictating is 3600 x 32/(8 x 1024) = 14 MB.
