About this tag
Voice data refers to audio recordings captured by speech recognition features in Microsoft products and services. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover how Microsoft collects, de-identifies, and manages voice recordings used to improve speech recognition, particularly changes after October 30, 2020, when new clips are no longer tied to individual accounts and thus do not appear on the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard. Legacy recordings linked to accounts before that date remain viewable and deletable. Other topics include integrating voice as a data product for MSPs using AI assistants like Microsoft Copilot, privacy controls in Windows 11, and speech recognition in UWP apps. The tag also touches on broader voice data privacy concerns with smart devices.
