An interesting angle to this: if your phone is powerful enough to transcribe audio in real time without any external processing, and considering how cheap it is to transfer and store text, how long before autocratic countries start persisting everything you say ?

so, where can I download the app for a different phone? I'd like to record to text my day on a phone that has no internet. I can't see it on the "play" store
on a somewhat related note, I've discovered that youtube is somehow exfiltrating conversations I have during the day, to tailor content on my YT feed..<p>There does not seem to be any one app responsible for the data exfil, so I've been led to believe they're building models (or transcribing text locally) and sending it up whenever android phones home (constantly).<p>I've tried attempting to block data exfiltration (Netguard etc) but nothing seemed to have worked and I had to switch devices.<p>If they're able to do on-device transcriptions and the tech is mature enough that they're going to release it as a standalone product with a big launch, I can now believe they have some similar tech running on devices to support their core-metrics (engagement w/ YT content, which drives Ad revenue).<p>Play close attention to your YT video feeds and you may notice the behavior I've observed too.
