It doesn't seem like we would be able to provide the transcript without recording the conversation. We need to obtain the audio data somehow to further transcribe it. Even if we do realtime transcription, we are still recording and transmitting the data somehow.
The only way to obtain a transcript without recording is to use a local dictation solution! But you might need to sacrifice the accuracy of the transcript in this case.
And recorded transcription plus automatic realtime transcription of non-authorizing parties might embarrass them into allowing it. I've become persuaded over the last decade that two party consent no longer makes sense (though that means the law should change, not that there should be civil disobedience)
Given Alexa as an example, I might have signed away my rights of all my conversations to Alexa when I first signed up for the app and the product. But Alexa would never be able to prevent other users who are not the owner from using it. I wonder how they deal with this legal grey area.
