When you go to the Skype Translator FAQ, it says "automatic transcripts are analyzed and any corrections are entered into our system" (Left). But Skype never actually makes it clear it is humans listening to these calls (Right) https://t.co/4sYwmN37zk pic.twitter.com/omx4082oOL

New: Leaked documents, screenshots, & audio show Microsoft contractors are listening to some Skype calls. Includes people talking about relationships, personal issues, etc. Publicly Skype says this analysis is done by AI; fails to mention humans do it too https://t.co/4sYwmN37zk

Analysis of calls done using Skype's Translator function is done in part by contractors at home. One contractor spoke of workers joking about what they hear from Skype and Cortana. Phone sex, etc. Source surprised such sensitive data is this accessible https://t.co/4sYwmN37zk pic.twitter.com/SIHDA6eAIX

Stunningly, in its statement Microsoft says it sends audio to "vendors" and claims the company is clear in that it uses voice data to improve its products.

... Microsoft and Skype don't say explicitly on their site that this review is done by humans. https://t.co/4sYwmN37zk pic.twitter.com/iiuo23DpFA
