It's pretty clear to me that this was an inadvertent activation of the call skill. The equivalent of butt-dialing someone from your phone. I get random voicemails from people all the time that are clearly recordings of their phone in their pocket.
If that's the case, then you need to provide additional features to reduce the chances of this happening. Longer and more unique wake word options, or more complex and deliberate confirmations before the call is placed. Something that a user can enable if they're worried about this sort of thing.
- njstraub608 8y ago100% this. Seems like there should at the very least be a product feature that automatically disables any outbound messaging by default (similarly to how you can block purchases without a PIN). This doesn't solve the problem of always listening, but at least prevents this particular situation from inadvertently happening. Additionally you should be able to set an automatic deletion of voice recording after a specified amount of time. I'm sure some of this has to be in the pipeline with GDPR.
