    Instead of recording and sending to servers, the tracker could use some speech to text locally amd send transcription to the servers too

      Right - that would require enough battery and processing power to make it obvious that it’s doing something like that.

        I don’t think so. Text to speech and speech to text engines are availiable locally without much power i guess. Also there could be error prone algorithm which records low quality audio for sake of performance and extended battery which is still enough. Also its not far off from recording and sending low quality audio to servers as intermet speeds are much faster than an audio stream

          They are available locally yes, but not without much power and processing.

          So much power and processing usage, you would notice.
