Want a Hassle-Free Way to Manage the Profanity Filter in Windows 11 Voice Typing?
Windows 11 introduces a valuable feature called the Profanity Filter for its voice typing tool. This smart technology helps users maintain a positive and professional tone by automatically detecting and censoring offensive language during speech-to-text conversion.
What Is the Profanity Filter in Windows 11 Voice Typing?
The Profanity Filter is an AI-driven system that identifies and censors inappropriate or offensive words as you use voice typing. When enabled, any detected profanity is replaced with asterisks (***), ensuring your transcribed text remains clean and suitable for all audiences. This feature is now available in the latest Windows 11 updates and is enabled by default after updating your system.
Benefits of Using the Profanity Filter

Follow these simple steps to activate the profanity filter:
- Press Windows + H on your keyboard to open the voice typing tool.
- Click the gear (⚙️) icon to access settings.
- Toggle ‘Filter Profanity’ to the ON position.
Now, any offensive words spoken during voice typing will be automatically censored.
How to Disable the Profanity Filter in Windows 11 Voice Typing
If you notice that the filter is blocking words that aren’t actually offensive, or if you need to capture speech verbatim, you can easily turn the filter off:
