VOICE RECOGNITION COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH PRIVACY INTERRUPT DEVICE AND RELATED METHODS

A voice recognition communication system may include a voice recognition server, a smart speaker device configured to communicate with the voice recognition server over a network, a power source, and a privacy interrupt device coupled between the smart speaker device and the power source. The privacy interrupt device may include a power switch configured to selectively toggle between a first state where the power source and the smart speaker device are connected and a second state where the power source and the smart speaker device are disconnected, and a visual indicator configured to indicate when the power switch is in the first state.
