Open the original- What it measures
- This sentence sits in Apple's page on Siri, Dictation and privacy, in the paragraph on request history. It is about Siri transcripts; the same page groups Siri and Dictation request history together in the surrounding text.
- What it does not show
- The sentence names Siri, not Dictation. Apple does not say how many transcripts are reviewed, and the review is separate from the opt-in to share audio recordings.
