Nexus One Filters Out Swear Words
The information may make a few of you happy while disappoint a few others. Nexus One is made to filter any profanity used. That is the speech-to-text recognition option doesn’t allow the user (speaker) to post out any swear words. As an alternative, the device converts those words into a group of #. Which means whenever you type a five lettered swear word, the device will show up your message something like this #####.
The reason for this is that in Android driven gadgets, speech to text recognition is yet not entirely flawless. The system can sometimes misrecognize the spoken word and give back some other word. Which may well cause confusion at the receiving side. And that is why Droid phone too has an identical difficulty (for some).
This is not the first time profanity is being blocked out, Zune HD is also doing the same thing with its twitter application. For those who do not know what Zune is, it is a MP3 Player from Microsoft and it was first launched in the market in 2006. And just back in Dec, Zune came out with their twitter application which does not permit any swear word used. This is one reason (including other) why not everybody likes their Twitter app.
Apart from this, among many Nexus functions that do not go down well with users is the four control keys at the lower end of the Nexus phone. Why ? because the buttons work only when top half of it is pressed, and this can be quite irritating. Furthermore, under the sun rays the phone display is not see-able. These are few of those flaws which users who have had hands-on encounter with Nexus informed.
And the no-profanity quality is in a way positive one. Though many of them will dislike Nexus One for being a civilized device. For more details read Nexus One Blocks Swear Word
