What Is Censor Text Tool?
User-generated content is full of words you can't publish. Schools, broadcasts and family forums all need clean output without rewriting from scratch.
Paste the content with a word list, get publish-safe output instantly.
If you're moderating a forum, you keep threads safe-for-work. If you're prepping classroom extracts, you stay within district policies. If you're producing broadcasts, you match FCC indecency rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it catch leetspeak like 'sh!t'?
Only if you add variants to your list. Pure regex needs fuzzy matching.
Tip: Add top leetspeak variants of each banned word.
Does it preserve word length?
Yes, a 4-letter word becomes ****. Subtitle and broadcast timing stays intact.
Tip: Length-preserving is critical for captioning.
Can I censor multi-word phrases?
Yes, add 'racial slur' as one entry.
Tip: Useful for trademark or exact-phrase blocking.
What about Scunthorpe-style false positives?
Enable word-boundary mode so 'Scunthorpe' doesn't trigger 'cunt'.
Tip: Always use boundaries on user-name fields.
Can I share the word list?
Export as plain text and share with co-moderators.
Tip: Keep it versioned for shift consistency.
Is this content moderation?
No, censoring is text-level. Moderation needs context and policy.
Tip: This is one layer in a wider workflow.
