This is perhaps unusual in that these aren't third party SDKs that you bundle with an application, but part of the Android OS. Nonetheless, I see nothing in the rules that exempts such situations, and they involve personal data being sent off device - but the API documentation gives very little details, and not enough for developers to answer the Google Play questions.

I have already created an issue with Google at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/207227852 , but I thought I'd create an issue here to let people know, or in case anyone else has already found an answer.

I've created a single issue here for both SpeechRecognizer and Geocoder for simplicity, but they could be split into two issues if that's preferred.

Thanks for creating this useful repository!
