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 could train a key audio → key press mapping model. 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 what they're typing.
