What is Filter Profanity in Windows 11 Voice Typing?
The Profanity Filter is an AI-based software system technology designed to automatically detect and block or censor offensive language in audio content (during voice typing). Microsoft has recently rolled out this feature through the Windows 11 Insider Preview Beta Channel.
Generally, on Windows 11, the built-in voice typing feature will detect if you are using profanity, but if the Profanity Filter is enabled in Windows Voice Typing, any vulgar (abusive) words will be written as asterisk symbols. If you update your Windows 11, this profanity filter will automatically get enabled.
