Amazon Kills The Do Not Send Voice Recordings Option on Echo At The End of The Month If you are an Amazon Echo user and recently got an odd email from the
Send Us Voice Recordings Or Your Echo Gets It!
If you are an Amazon Echo user and recently got an odd email from the company that you haven’t yet taken a look at, you might want to. As of March 28th you will no longer be able to choose the “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” option and still have a working Voice ID feature on any Echo device. As of that date everything Alexa hears will be uploaded to Amazon cloud, you will no longer be able to have it processed locally. Amazon touts the security of the encrypted transfer of your voice and the cloud devices it ends up on, and goes so far as to suggest that the recordings will be deleted after they are processed but will no longer allow you to prevent the uploading of voice recordings to Amazon.
