How does automatic censoring find the words?

The file is transcribed by a speech model with word-level timestamps. Every word on your list gets a bleep or silence placed over exactly that span. You see the full transcript, so you can verify what it found.

Will it catch every swear word?

Almost every one on clear speech. Words that are mumbled, shouted over music, or spoken by two people at once can be missed or misheard. The transcript review catches those: search for the word and add it by hand.

Can it auto censor a live stream?

No. Instableep works on recorded files. Download the VOD or clip first, run it through, then re-upload the clean version.

Is auto censoring free?

Yes. 20 minutes of transcription a month at no cost, no credit card. Free exports carry a watermark. A one-time $4.99 pack adds 60 minutes that never expire and removes the watermark for good.

What file types work?

Video: MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV. Audio: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A. Up to 500 MB per file.

Is it safe to upload my files?

Files are encrypted at rest, stored in your library, and deletable at any time. The bleeping itself runs locally in your browser.

Auto censoring versus doing it by hand

By hand you listen to the whole file to find the words. Automatic flips that: the model listens, you only check the hits. Small difference on a short clip, an afternoon saved on a two-hour podcast.

What auto bleep gets wrong, and how to catch it

It can miss a mumbled word or flag one you want to keep. Both show in the transcript with a confidence score. Search and add the miss, untick the false flag. That review is the whole job.

Bleeping makes the edit obvious, muting is quieter. Either keeps the sentence length so video stays in sync. Your own sound works too, and you can change it and re-export later.

Auto censoring for YouTube, TikTok and Twitch

YouTube treats bleeped or muted profanity as ad-eligible where the raw words may limit ads. Streamers export the VOD or clip, run it through, and upload the clean version. Recorded files only, no live streams.
