I don’t see any downside at all if it’s layered on top of some other (very capable) keyboard-driven UI that can do all the same things.

The downside is that no existing tech company has enough self-control to actually keep these kinds of recordings private.

That's why we need something open-source and self-hosted.

Several such solutions already exist. Problem is, only folks like us mess around with it. Non-geeks, not so much.

@gzrrt @pineapple Yeah - ideally, any voice control processing or recordings should never leave the device it's used on. At worst, the local network.

It's so annoying that the tech for voice recognition became usable before mobile processing power caught up but after mobile bandwidth was enough to offload the processing to someone else's computer.
