Understanding the Speech privacy message with regards to on-device recognition.

When creating a speech recognition app, such as the sample app called SpokenWord, and asking for permission, a message appears to the user which says:

‘SpokenWord’ Would like to access Speech Recognition Speech data from this app will be sent to Apple to process your requests. …”

However, it is my understanding that settings requiresOnDevice to true means that all audio will be processed on device and not be sent to or used by Apple. Is this correct? Or is data sent to Apple even if requiresOnDevice is set to true?

Hello,

I am very interested in this question too.

Could you please provide an answer?

Thanks
