I have a Google Home in every room of my home. This only records after the trigger word, right? And it isn’t tied to my account? Well, then, I’m fine with it.

- punnerud 7y agoAs long as you don’t enable that Google Home can listen for some seconds after you are finished. This is for follow up questions without the trigger, but then other voice are also recorded a while after. Hope they don’ listen without the trigger word. Easy to check with Wireshark (or similar) if they are sending enough data to equal sound transfer. Anybody checked this?
- nocturnial 7y agoIf you want raw data: out of the 1000 audio recordings the journalists could get their hands on, 153 were recorded without the trigger word. Google provided those audio recordings to language experts for transcription without account information. The journalists managed to track down several people using only the audio and confronted those people with the audio. They confirmed it was indeed their voices.
- scarejunba 7y agoLike for the context-keeping? I know it’ll record post-response without an additional trigger phrase instance and that’s fine.
- nocturnial 7y agoIt mentioned it was probably due to misinterpreting some words as the trigger phrase. They formulated it as "any word that remotely sounds like google could trigger it"
- scarejunba 7y agoOh, that’s unfortunate. I’d definitely want them to first have humans view the trigger phrase time before they okay viewing the remainder.
