Help censoring swear words

[johnnyc418]

how do you stop it from adding *** to curse words when you enter text by speaking?

 

[skimanb2333]

ive nvr had this happen.

 

[ccoager]

I've noticed this happening also. Is there any settings to disable this?

 

[aptmx]

Also wondering same thing....

you cant, i believe i read an article almost a year ago that when saying curse words --they updated it so they dont get sued or what not in case someone says DUCK it doesnt say **** thus they censor it no matter if its intentional or not

 

[woop]

In for an answer.

This might apply (also might try adding the words to your custom dictionary in language settings) YouTube - How To Prank Someone's iPhone

does anyone know how to adjust the settings

As far as I can tell this affects all andoid phones with voice to text.

We filter potentially offensive or inappropriate results because we want to avoid situations whereby we might misrecognize a spoken query and return profanity when, in fact, the user said something completely innocent

There isn't an option to disable it, only ways of circumventing the filter.

For the curious: swear into a Google phone & it transcribes it as ####. But if you swear and then say "dot com" it will write what you said.

no, the translation goes through google's servers so uncensoring would have to go through google. theres no way to fix it because google themselves has to enter all your curse words.

okay. thanks! I want to be able to text my friend and use voice to text to use curse words if needed. Is there any way to do that?

Try a dictionary app. A broader vocabulary will reduce the need for swear words.

I just got the droid global 2 on saturday and I found it. Go to settings voice input and output and voice recognition settings

While I agree that swearing in general is overdone and often vulgar, I do think this link has some sort of point.

I know, that is barely relevant. But I thought I would post anyway.

Well that stinks. Now I'm thinking it would be nice to have an app creatively add swear words. Sometimes I just don't feel like coming up with a stream of words on my own, but feel the message deserves them.

 

[ACD168]

you can always, type it.

settings> voice input & output> voice recognizer settings>

Gris has got it - I was just about to post the same thing.

If you follow his breadcrumbs, you can turn off "Block offensive words" and turn down SafeSearch.

My phone recognizes my favorite word douchelord I never cussed into my phone before. It puts #### for my other 4 letter word favorites.

Here's a novel idea, how about just not using any swear words?

Just a thought....

[carmendiva]

one of my new years resolutions is to ease up on cussing haha

I consider myself trilingual(English & Spanish and swearing ha)

for the few minutes that i had cm7 on my phone i was poking around the settings and there was an option in the voice input section that allowed you to control the filtering (strict moderate or none). I think it is a 2.3 thing and not a CM thing because it was not in the CM settings section. so you may not have to worry about this for much longer...
