About this tag
Voice clips are audio recordings captured by Microsoft's speech-recognition features to improve products and services. Recent changes mean that voice clips contributed after October 30, 2020 are de-identified and no longer linked to individual Microsoft accounts, so they do not appear on the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard.
