Improved Profanity Filtering

What's New

The profanity filtering system (profanity_filter=true) now includes:

  • An expanded database of profane words and phrases

  • Real-time filtering support for streaming audio

  • Standardized asterisk replacement for filtered content

Note: Profanity Filtering is available for English-only.

Key Changes

Previously, our system would replace detected profanity with similar-sounding words. With this update, all identified profane content is now consistently replaced with asterisks, providing clearer and more predictable output.

Documentation & Support
