Ideal for everyone who likes to throw a few swear words into their sentences [theverge.com]:

If you're like me and you have a bit of an uncontrollable potty mouth, Microsoft has got you covered with its latest Windows 11 feature. The software maker is changing the way its profanity filter for voice typing works on Windows 11 soon, so you can disable the filter and let all your nasty swear words be free like nature intended.

Microsoft has started testing this change in the Dev and Beta Channel with Windows Insiders, by adding a new toggle inside voice typing's settings interface that lets you either filter profanity and replace it with asterisks or have it type out your profanity like any other words. I'm personally ****ing excited about this one, because voice typing currently filters out profanity with the incorrect amount of asterisks, which makes me swear even more.

[...] These features are all being tested with Windows Insiders, and I'd expect to see them appear for Windows 11 users in the coming months.
