Windows 11’s voice typing will soon let you turn off the ****ing profanity filter

If you’re like me and you have a bit of an uncontrollable potty mouth, Microsoft has got you covered with its latest Windows 11 feature. The software maker is changing the way its profanity filter for voice typing works on Windows 11 soon, so you can disable the filter and let all your nasty swear words be free like nature intended.

Microsoft has started testing this change in the Dev and Beta Channel with Windows Insiders, by adding a new toggle inside voice typing’s settings interface that lets you either filter profanity and replace it with asterisks or have it type out your profanity like any other words. I’m personally ****ing excited about this one, because voice typing currently filters out profanity with the incorrect amount of asterisks, which makes me swear even more.

Alongside the profanity filter changes, Microsoft is also allowing Surface Pen owners to configure the button on the stylus to trigger the new Click to Do feature that started rolling out today. Click to Do provide actions for the text or images that are on your screen, so you could click your stylus button and summarize text or quickly remove an object from an image.

These features are all being tested with Windows Insiders, and I’d expect to see them appear for Windows 11 users in the coming months.
