I am afraid that soon it is hard for general public to avoid the situation where when they flush the toiled some unexpected device will recognise it and report to the headquarters.

EDIT: both companies have promised "off-line" processing, whatever that means, but I don't know if any already does that. Note that off-line processing does NOT mean they won't store your voice clips on their servers.
