Here ’s a fun fact : Every prison term you do a voice hunt , Google records it . And if you ’re an Android user , every time you say “ Ok Google , ” the ship’s company records that , too . Do n’t freak out , though , because Google lets you listen ( and delete ) these recordings . Here ’s how .
maneuver over to Google’sVoice and Audio Activitypage and take off deleting all those recording . you’re able to cancel them individually or all at once , just sink in the More > Delete Options > forward-looking to get there . Each file will also have a plaintext transcript and transcription entropy associated with it for your studying . While you ’re shoring up privacy configurations , you may also secernate Google to stop tracking which connection pages you visithere , or turn off everything from a map of stored locations to YouTube watch history onthis page .
While part recordings can be “ paused , ” they ’ll be reactivated the next clip you utilise Virtual Assistant , Voice Search , or say “ OK Google . ” Which kind of sucks ! So quell diligent about deleting poppycock , especially if you say anything sticky and/or incriminating to your phone .
Again , the recording feature film is by all odds more of a balk for Android user . That said , let the transcription available for users to listen to is markedly more transparent than alike services like Siri ( which hive away your data forup to two years , unless youturn off the service ) or Amazon Echo ( whichmay or may not be wiretapped by the FBI ) .
