Voice to Text feature using Open AI

Yes, I thought that was where I looked and didn’t find the switch - it just showed the feature without a choice to turn it off. Then after your comment I made sure to look in the actual right place and sure enough, there it was. I am not feeling very intelligent right now.

Out of curiousity reproduced similar behaviour as described above:



Forcing stop and cleaning storage is undone after system reboot, even though it is turned off in input settings…

Does App info give a package name if you scroll down to the end of the page?

(To use it with Uninstall default apps - #29 by AnotherElk … or alternatively, perhaps Shizuku and Canta might provide a way without a computer and the command line.)

I haven’t updated my phone running /e/os to 3.01 yet, but if I have heartburn with Murena VTT, I’ll just disable it from the command line. No big deal. Through as a matter of principle, “disabled” should not be greyed out in the Apps settings.

Why do so many apps do that for seemingly no reason? Every bundled app likes to think it’s critical to the system. I mean some are, especially if you list system apps, but few are in the regular apps list.

Hello!
I’m on holliday since a week and using mobile data only. My Murena VTT is switched off and the microphone and messages are granted to MVTT by default. In my mobile data consumption per app there is no MVTT listed, so I believe there is no connection to OpenAI. And I also believe that no voice data is surreptitiously sent to OpenAI, otherwise my 500MB mobile volume would not last as long as it does. The consumption is coherent!

Personally I installed FUTO some months before MVTT came and I was really surprised how good it workes. For long Texts it is much faster than typing on this tiny screen keyboard! But it is as Gaël said: mixing different languages is a problem.
So I can understand the decission of Murena and I appreciate a solution for raising the privacy level. I personally will go on using FUTO, because it saves (mobile) data.

This is not surprising at all. When you deny the permissions for the microphone and notifications, this will be stored in your cache/user data. If you then clear this, the original permissions will be restored.

I believe on my S7 the name is foundation.e.stt

I tried with the ADB commands

adb root

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 foundation.e.stt

And it seemed to be removed, this is a test phone so not sure what effects are on other apps or if the OpenAI api is removed.

It is.
You can follow-up the command for uninstall by:

pm clear foundation.e.stt

… to remove the remaining linked userdata of the now-removed application.
Then everything should be gone regarding STT.

Since the -k option to keep the data was not used with the uninstall command … user data is still left to clear?

Not sure if individual settings of integrated applications are removed without the -k parameter or if there could be something left due to it being integrated into the image itself, snippets which might be stored in different places.

The (repeated) removal won’t do damage if there’s no data left due to uninstall without -k.
