Nexus One wants you to be well spoken, censors cursed / inappropriate words
We all know that Nexus One has an impressive voice recognition capability. Yes I am talking about the speech to text functionality that allows you to let the Google Phone type your message as you speak it. Pretty cool, specially when you are driving the car. To add to your knowledge, the Android 2.1 phone is well mannered and doesn’t allow you to include cruse words.
Try saying some foul or profanity words and Google’s voice recognition capability will replace it with string of hash (#) symbols. In other words, Google wants you to be civil and well behaved or is it the case of the amazing technology not that perfect. Here is Google’s stand on this no-curse policy
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,
So what are your thoughts on the Nexus One’s no-curse policy. Is Google doing the right thing?
