Google Nexus One censors swear words
January 25, 2010
While Google might be at loggerheads with the Chinese due to censorship of search results amidst other philosophy wrangles, they're certainly keeping up with their "Don't be evil" motto. Why do we say so? The Google Nexus One was specially designed to censor swear words when voice recognition is turned on, where all detected profanities are converted to #### marks. Of course, that works only with the English language we suppose, but we're not too certain whether users of the Android platform would be fond of that built-in feature. Guess it is just a matter of duration before someone out there hacks that protection blockade. We didn’t try it in our Nexus One review, but thereupon again we’re nice public

Automatic Captions In YouTube
November 19, 2009
It looks like Google has just made YouTube a lot more accessible to dead and hearing-impaired folks. With robotic captions (auto-caps) in YouTube, captions can be processed through Google’s robotic speech recognition (ASR) technology to offer motorized captions to the videos. It uses the same voice recognition algorithms used in Google Voice. Of course, the captions certainly won’t be perfect, but we’re certain they’ll be a big help. It’s currently only able to insert captions on English language speech, but Google has been cool ample to offer users the choice to use its robotic translation system to read the captions in 51 languages, now how cool is that? Check out the official details here.
