You have to train it on per device + per room basis and you don’t give everything access to your microphones

I was just thinking, streamers might have to be careful actually — you can often both see and hear when they’re typing, so if you correlated the two you’d get an audio → key mapping. And then if they type a password for something, even if it’s off-screen from their stream, the audio might clue you in on it.

That could hypothetically be avoided by distorting the streamed audio just a tiny bit

Yeah. Or just use a password wallet.

Could be a fun honey pot.
