What's the use case for this?

I agree with your second point completely and a lot of big tech companies already passively record your conversations.

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.

That's a really good idea! We would be able to build something that allows people to only record part of the conversations.

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.

38 states require single party consent and the rest requires two party consent. Since it is quite complicated, we advice our users to always inform everyone that the conversation is being recorded. Users can later delete recordings from their account if they desire. When users delete a recording, it will be permanently deleted from our database.

Given the fact that they were not willing to pay for any legal fee to get you onboard, I would be worried about whether they would actually fulfill their promise of providing you visa/GreenCard sponsorship down the road.

If you absolutely need to take this offer, draft up a written agreement outlining all the terms you two have verbally agreed to. Have you and the other party sign the form and email yourself and the company a digital copy of the signed form. Also, ask your boss to reply to the email and confirm the agreement to be valid.
