Streaming profanity filteringFor real-time profanity filtering on streaming transcripts, see Filter profanity.


US & EU
You can automatically filter out profanity from the transcripts by setting filter_profanity to true in your transcription config. Any profanity in the returned text will be replaced with asterisks. 
import assemblyai as aai

aai.settings.api_key = "<YOUR_API_KEY>"

# audio_file = "./local_file.mp3"

Profanity filter isn’t perfect. Certain words may still be missed or improperly filtered.
