Yeah it’s in the secure enclave RAM while it’s processed. RAM is memory.

In my state it is illegal to transcribe and summarize a conversation if both parties do not consent. Saying that it records and transcribes and summarizes really quickly doesn’t seem like a valid defence.

It’s recording into the device memory and then transferring to the iPhone’s device memory. It’s still recording.

Also it says it does transcribe it. “On-device speech recognition transcribes the audio to text, and then an on-device language model generates a condensed version”

I think this is an option that a user can enable. So it’s not something apple is doing without the users knowledge. Still, other people may not be aware they are being recorded and that the person is getting summaries of the conversation.

I’m sure there are audio recording apps available for iWatch which could be used more nefariously. Still, I’m not sure it would be legal for a person to create and use a device that “secretly” transcribes audio, but it’s Apple so I’m sure their lawyers can figure it out.

It says it IS recording, then the recording is transferred to the user’s iPhone where it’s transcribed and the recording is then deleted and the transcription is uploaded.

It’s still recording. And transcribing conversations where someone should have an expectation of privacy.

In my state you are not allowed to record conversations if there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.
