How to listen to everything Amazon Echo has ever heard
If you own an Amazon Echo, you probably know its strange secret. The device
records a lot of what you say. Deep inside that dark tower, Echo keeps a
vast trove of recordings. Your voice is preserved. Your friends' voices are
preserved. Anyone who has ever been to your house and said, "Alexa!" has
contributed to its great library of human sound.
On the upside, this amazing technology puts instant information a voice
command away. Most people have no idea that you can do much more than get
the latest weather or listen to your favorite tunes. Click here for a list
of Alexa commands that you're probably not using but should.
The downside is that Amazon stores an audio recording of every voice command
you've issued to Alexa, not just in the device itself, but on Amazon's
servers.
Most owners feel a little weird about these voice recordings. What does
Amazon plan to do with what I say? Will someone break into Alexa and hack my
voice? Can law enforcement access my recordings? Is Amazon going to use
these sound files for some dastardly plan?
