Can you retrieve the voice recording from Speech Recognition plaforms like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant?

Question

Is there any way to get the actual recorded audio input from a Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device to use in my own API backend?

This answer regarding the Android Speech Recognition API mentions that it's not really possible to get the audio recording.

While the platform provides a developer with the user transcription, it does not provide the underlying audio that generated the query.

That is unfortunate. Does your answer stem from a particular point in the documentation of one of the services? – Der_Reparator Oct 26 '21 at 09:12
It's primarily based on personal experience with the platforms – Nick Felker Oct 26 '21 at 15:26
