       @zanko I'm not sure you didn't misunderstand how Firefox Voice works: it sends the voice commands to Google for voice recognition, then it optionally saves a copy to help with training Common Voice. No recognition is done by Common VoiceSome privacy is provided by the fact Mozilla proxies the audio through them, but at the end of the day it's still Google doing all the recognition

       @Matter oh didn't know that. I though Common Voice was doing the work. Where can I learn more about this?

       @Matter thank you for this. Honestly, this isn't as impressive as I though since Google is doing all the heavy lifting.

       @Matter @zanko that means more data for google to mine although with proxies this way, but so what they know enough about our lives already. Kudos to Firefox for not leaving convenience behind. Althought we seriously need a competent open source alternative for voice assisstent.
