Holy **** Oh Right Okay. So I Was About To Make A Post About How Using Speech To Text Has Already Been

Holy **** oh right okay. So I was about to make a post about how using speech to text has already been a game changer for me but as you can see by the line of asterix at the start of this post the bloody thing auto censors swear words. (Yet bloody got through, ig Because it is a description and also British slang.). Hint: the word I was trying to say there starts with F and ends with K.

Oh and guess what else you can't say you can't say? **** [Nipples]. had to type that myself. penis is ok but **** [clitoris] isn't, and all my attempts to say "clit" were Misunderstood, which may just be my speech but at this point I am not willing to give the benefit of the doubt. Vagina is OK too but every time I say it there is a moment when an * shows up on screen first before the full word does. this doesn't happen when I say the word penis.

It is completely heinous. Anybody who needs speech to text is immediately forced to comply with the rules set out by people in a position of power and then enforced by a machine — a machine that is a very powerful accessibility tool. Imagine trying to dictate a letter to a doctor or fill in an E consult with speech to text, only to have words of your anatomy censored as if they are taboo. there is already far too much stigma around genital physical health — and note that I could say genital but can't say **** [clitoris] — for it to be okay for these words to be censored.

And even if somebody just wants to swear In a message to their friends or write smut/**** [pornography], they should be able to. There is no justification for this feature. No reason for it to be default.

I'm trying to find a way around this. There is a settings icon on the little speech to text bar that comes up, but this only gives me options For the speech typing launcher, auto punctuation, and to set the default microphone. it's making me extremely angry

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL BY

I don’t know what to share about my life anymore to get people’s attention. We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. Our landlord keeps increasing our rent, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. Every kind of food at the market now costs a fortune and there are no jobs available due to the dangerous situation outside, so we have to fully rely on this campaign.

This is a drawing my friend made of me with my dearest sister Soso, who is only four years old and has already suffered so much in her short life. Two wars have come close to killing her and barely had time to know happiness. I want to make it more bearable for her, but I can’t do it alone.

Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

$1000 = A place for 40 students from Gaza to study.

It's not a luxury… It's not an indulgence… Just a chair, an electrical outlet, an internet connection, and a wall to protect them from the sound of the planes.

$1000 means 40 students can fulfill their dreams, Instead of being cut off from their university life and led astray by ignorance.

Every $25 you donate means you are saving an entire family that depends on their student son. You've provided a place for him to study and fulfill his dreams.

You're not just supporting a student, You're helping a family get back on its feet, You're standing with Gaza, not with slogans… but with action. You're making a big difference in Gaza.

Gaza doesn't need sympathy, Gaza needs support. And because the whole world has failed her, Gaza needs her people, needs her students, her engineers, her doctors… And every act of support starts with a student.

Want to leave a mark? Let 40 students finish their education… The change is in your hands!

$1000 = A Place For 40 Students From Gaza To Study.
