Isn't this a privacy issue with E2E encryption?
- nassimsoftware 5y agoIf it's done on device is there still a security risk?
- ARandomUserOnHN 5y agoNot as long as the transcript is created on device.
- caymanjim 5y agoVoice-to-text transcription can be done entirely on-device, although I'm not sure what the quality of existing solutions is. This is a barrier but not a showstopper.
- toast0 5y agoThe questions then become --- can you trust the system on-device transcription to preserve privacy or can you justify the size of the datasets for transcription if you've got to include it/download it for secure offline use; and can you make it work reasonably well in the languages your users use. (bonus points if it can reasonably detect the spoken language which may not match the written language of the phone).
- solarkraft 5y agoIf it’s sent to the cloud still only kind of, since many of these services aren’t E2EE to begin with.
- natdempk 5y agoAt least for iOS they already do on-device transcription for voicemails, but not voice messages sent via other means.
- elcano 5y agoI have been using on device transcription on my old Pixel. Here is a demo of the 2 years old technology: https://youtu.be/zfOPF069Xn0 https://youtu.be/zfOPF069Xn0 But what I'm looking forward is the new technology in the Pixel 6. Besides much better transcription, caption and translation (see the video completely) it could even solve the real problem by letting people send text messages by speaking into theirs phones with better quality than before. https://youtu.be/tSAYtwTqppA https://youtu.be/tSAYtwTqppA
