Google Nexus one hit the stores some time ago as a much anticipated competitor on the smart phone market - the realm currently ruled by Apple and the iPhone. Trying to take a slice of that realm, the Nexus dudes promised a lot of improvements and new technologies implemented in it. And as they have promised so they have delivered.
One of those improvements is the swear word censorship, both in written from and when using the speech recognition feature. If swear words are uttered the speech recognition feature filters it, instead providing symbols like #. You ask why the censorship? It's simple. You see, with previous voice recognition features in various phones, sometimes, although rarely, the feature could misrecognize the query and simply place a swear words instead of whatever innocent thing it was you said. That's why the guys at Google decided on this feature, mostly out of precaution.
Even though it sounds like a "fair enough" deal, this still means that there is room for improvement, and maybe sometime in the future, when the technology allows it, Nexus One users could see their right to curse over the phone again. Until then.
