Display consent field before activating dictation #12393

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When the dictation feature is enabled, users can use google chrome's voice recognition API to auto-transcribe text. However, this means that the users' voice is processed by google's systems. It would be nice to have a consent pop-up when (first) clicking this button, so users still pertain a conscious choice when activating this feature, and are appropriately informed about the implications.

Describe the solution you'd like When clicking the 'start dictation' button, a pop-up should occur which briefly describes what will happen. Users can then click 'consent/ok' to start the dictation, or 'cancel', if they do not consent to the processing of their speech by google.

Describe alternatives you've considered The absence of this feature currently means that i can not activate that feature on my setup.

The current dictation for Google Voice was experimental. We're working on a new dictation interface for Google Voice that should be better.

I am reopening this one as it likely is at least partly relevant to the upcoming [2.6] closed captions implementation.
