Summary

The article discusses a project called Bleepgram, which was developed during an internal hackathon at Deepgram. The purpose of the project is to automatically censor profanity in audio files using Node.js and Deepgram's Speech Recognition API. The process involves getting a transcript from Deepgram, identifying profane words, determining clean audio timings, creating complex FFmpeg filters for audio manipulation, and finally running FFmpeg to generate the censored file. The complete project code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/deepgram-devs/censor-audio.
