Call me paranoid but I wouldn't trust the HIT "Record Yourself Speaking a Few Short English Phrases"

Not only that it is asking for full names, it collects a list of voice commands that seem suspiciously like how a hacker would try to gather data to circumvent voice identification systems.
Yep, I sent it back when it asked for my full name. I do Acme,Snips and Kitt all the time,but this one felt fishy.

if you dont trust voice collection hits, dont do jamelios either then. :p
idk if they ever post anymore tho
I'm more likely to "trust" when companies like Amazon or Google do it; it's understood that they don't care about our privacy but they aren't trying to phish out individuals -- we're just commodities to them.

They don't ask for your real name. Jams are cool.

theyre just a voice collection for an app thing that wants to test out commands.
you DONT have to give your last name
you dont even have to give your REAL name.
you dont even have to give your actual location.

but hey, if you dont do them, there is someone that will. your loss on easy money

I recognize that I don't have to give my real name or location but some people will.

As someone who used to work in the security industry, I'd label this (and just did) as a warning sign.

Perhaps they are just building an app... perhaps not.
