No. Maybe a pair of Bluetooth headphones is a compromise. Unless your kids are watching the content with you, in which case you're out of luck.

@IzzyJ1

With current technology, no: that would require delaying the on-screen playback while the content is analysed by something like a pseudo-AI.

Hi @Annie+UK just noticed your signature, which was a great way as I am also neurodivergent , but how did you change the design of it?

It's a privilege of being a SuperUser+ so very few users get to have pretty signatures

@Super+Anthony As you are forum level 9 you already have access to some basic signature formatting (Level 8 required) like font size, colour, bold, italic, tables etc...

Use the post style formatting in a dummy forum post then click the HTML button to see the code, you can then copy that code into the signature, you can then cancel the dummy post 🙂

@Super+Anthony The formatter looks different with a desktop browser (more options), not sure what options basic formatting gives you'll just have to play around with it yourself

I think AI is not yet ready for this, just yet. Maybe in a few years.

But an alternative could be that a new subtitles "track" be applied to the programme, that could give a warning to when a swear word is coming up. A (computer) program could be used to analyse when swear words are present in the subtitles. I understand this issue is extremely low priority though.
