A key differentiator for devices being created for use as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) is usability. Traditional user interfaces are being eschewed in favor of voice recognition. Voice recognition requires the collection and interpretation of sounds. Device must determine when it is being addressed and then send the sounds that immediately follow to a server for interpretation. This presents some unique privacy challenges. An organization needs to be sensitive to:How sounds are being collected, for what purposes the sound is being used, who is communicating with the device, and how long the sound.”]
