FAQs
It May Not Be Secure
It is secure with ETG’s MyVoice, a non-obtrusive, patented voiceprint authentication technology solution.
Edge Processing Might Be the Next Big Thing
Our solution is 100% Edge Processing driven, we're not in the cloud, our solution already performs this locally.
It May Lead To Cyber Espionage
We vastly reduce the cyber espionage risk as a critical security layer in a multi-tiered approach with an end-to-end crypto-processor that is the highest quality currently available for computing cybersecurity.
Your Device Is Always Listening
Other devices perpetually listen and process via the cloud, ours only listens for the voiceprint-authenticated command(s) and nothing else; our devices only listen locally, with no interface to the cloud whatsoever, a local device listening only to authorized users and/or those with access due to knowing a specific "duress" word.
It Makes Life Easier For Neurodivergent Audiences
This is exactly what informs our mission and "technology for all" tagline; a viable video option already exists. However, because users are generally suspicious of all devices, this feature will not be offered in the initial rollout of the product.
Your Data May Be Shared With Third Parties
Not our solution: We developed MyVoice as the antithesis of a third party sharing model.
It’s Wise To Leverage Two-Factor Authentication
100% correct, especially solutions without our patented technology for voiceprint authentication (additionally, MyVoice is positioned as an effective alternative option to 2FA).
You Should Regularly Delete Recorded Audio
With all non-ETG solutions, this is for good reason however, MyVoice never records unless the owner allows in specific scenarios, such as an activated 9-1-1 or first responders call for service via the system.
You May Create A Digital Footprint
Not with MyVoice, the voice authentication process exists within the unit our company's plan is to not enter the Personally Identifiable Info (PII) market, further ensuring that your voice (including your data) is in control of your security.
It’s Best Reserved For Noncritical Systems
True, unless MyVoice is used to summon/deliver services with high confidence while also advancing Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) readiness; of course, MyVoice is 100% ready and applicable to noncritical systems integrations.
It May ‘Even The Playing Field’
There’s a reason "Technology For All" drives our mission to provide affordable, highly-effective 21st century solutions regardless of geography, educational background and experience.
Your Device Can Be Triggered Unintentionally
MyVoice is designed to significantly reduce such risk due to consistently reliable voiceprint authentication and protocols.
Children’s Privacy May Be At Risk
Not with MyVoice's technology that protects all user and passive non-user privacy.
It May Soon Become The Norm In Public Spaces
ETG was founded to advance this inevitable conclusion: "Voice-enabled apps that are activated during user events will become more acceptable than always-listening apps, which pose privacy challenges and slow adoption."
You May Have To Experiment To Unlock Its Full Potential
We facilitate an intuitive set-up for easy adoption with simple instruction via voice/video/visual options; reinforced with training, support, processes and protocols customizable to meet the diverse individual needs and abilities of users.
Democratizing Technology
Voice interaction has the potential to democratize technology, making it accessible to a broader and more diverse range of individuals. This shift isn’t just about convenience; it represents a fundamental change in our technological relationship. Dengel predicts that “every interface between humans and machines will transition to voice-first.”
