Moto X is Always Listening, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Moto X is Always Listening, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Yesterday, Motorola announced the Moto X; the company's first from-scratch Android phone since being acquired by Google. Among its many features is close integration with Google Now's Glass-esque voice commands. That's nothing to worry about—right?

In her hands-on with the device, PC Mag's Chloe Albanesius described the feature thusly: "Once activated, you can talk to your Moto X from up to 15 feet away, asking it to call certain people, look up things online, or get directions. Say "OK Google Now" to wake it up and command away."

Chloe also pointed out that, unfortunately, there's no way to change your command phrase—so just about anyone could walk up and give your phone a command. Like most voice recognition software, the Moto X can be trained to your voice, making it at least less likely that someone could give your phone a command for you.
