You can automatically filter out profanity from the transcripts by setting filter_profanity to true in your transcription config.

Any profanity in the returned text will be replaced with asterisks.

1 import assemblyai as aai

3 aai.settings.api_key = "<YOUR_API_KEY>"

5 # audio_file = "./local_file.mp3"
6 audio_file = "https://assembly.ai/wildfires.mp3"

8 config = aai.TranscriptionConfig(filter_profanity=True)
9 
10 transcript = aai.Transcriber(config=config).transcribe(audio_file)
11 
12 if transcript.status == "error":
13   raise RuntimeError(f"Transcription failed: {transcript.error}")
14 
15 print(transcript.text)

Profanity filter isn’t perfect. Certain words may still be missed or improperly filtered.
