No Profanity On Google Nexus
The report may make a few of you happy while disappoint a few others. Nexus One is designed to block any profanity used. That is the speech-to-text recognition function doesn’t permit the user (speaker) to post out any swear words. Instead, the phone converts those words into a series of #. That is whenever you type a five lettered swear word, the device will show up the term something like this #####.
It is because in Android powered products, speech to text recognition is yet not completely flawless. The device can sometimes does not recognize the spoken word and give back some other word. Which may well result in misunderstandings at the receiving side. And this is why Droid phone also has exactly the same problem (for some).
It’s not the first time swear word is being filtered out, Zune HD is as well doing the same thing with its twitter application. For those who have no idea what Zune is- it’s a Microsoft product and it was first launched in the market in 2006. And just back in Dec, Zune brought out their twitter application which does not permit any swear word used. This is one reason (including other) why not everyone likes their Twitter application.
Besides this, one of many Nexus aspects that don’t go down well with consumers is the four control keys at the bottom of the Nexus handset. This is because the control keys work only when upper half of it is pressed, which can be quite irritating. On top of that, under the sun rays the display is not see-able. These are few of those flaws which folks who have had hands-on experience with Nexus reported.
And the no-profanity function is in a way good one. Though a lot of of them will dislike Nexus One for being a civilized cell phone. For more details read Nexus One Blocks Swear Word
