"...capture voice commands and associated texts so that [Samsung] can provide you with Voice Recognition features and evaluate and improve the features."
Even worse comes this news:
"Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognition."
This feature can be disabled but there is a caveat:
"While Samsung will not collect your spoken word, Samsung may still collect associated texts and other usage data so that we can evaluate the performance of the feature and improve it."
Are you kidding me? Do you really think consumers will stand
for this? When will consumer-electronics manufacturers get the point? This type
of sampling should only be done for those who have either volunteered to
improve the service or have been paid for their cooperation. It's just another
blatant misuse of technology that may require some form of regulation. One
would think the tech-industry would be intelligent enough to realize this themselves
but apparently there is no limit to their audacity.
