Open the original- What it measures
- Conventional learning is the opt-in Gboard method that sends audio to Google. The limit is the usual length of each donated snippet, as Google describes it.
- What it does not show
- The page says snippets may be up to 25 seconds when there is silence or unrecognized audio, so 15 seconds is the usual maximum rather than an absolute one.
