How does this not violate 2-party consent?

There is probably some technicality in that since it doesn’t record audio, but rather just keeps a transcription - that it might not fall afoul of two-party consent?

Even if it is only temporarily stored to RAM for processing, I struggle to see how that doesn't still count as "recording".

It probably wouldn’t meet the strict legal definition, as no copy (physical or digital) is left behind for any period of time - as RAM is volatile and its contents disappear on power cycle.

Or it probably would, they just have no plan to stop it unless they get sued and a judge forces them

The Hey Siri does the same thing it's just all on-device.
