Nexus One Voice recognition blocks harsh words and converts them to ####

Voice to text sometimes can be embarrassing or even disgusting at times. If you want to text your friend, “Would you like to have chocolate fudge tonight?” and then the word Fudge is mistaken by your device and output is real disgusting, “Would you like to have chocolate fu** tonight?” and the * does stand for the rest of the words.

Anyway, the text receiver would surely break your bones next day. This won’t happen to you if you use your Nexus one which has a inbuilt feature as to hash of all such F and S words. But still, won’t it look weird?

Would you like to have chocolate #### tonight?

Google has a nice reason to state as to why this done in their devices.

“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.”
