I know censoring content is a pain for editors, not only because it takes up valuable time, but because the typical way of doing it is extremely error-prone. It's a perfect example of 'busy work'. Stuff that needs to be done, but doesn't improve the art, or leave a lasting impact on the consumer. This is the exact type of work that can be handled via automation. Many existing solutions have handled this to some degree, delivering automated profanity censoring for audio. But none of them go as far as to blur the mouth of the speaker during a profanity. And I thought to myself, "what's the use of censoring the audio, if we're not going to blur the mouth too. That's the most difficult part of the process". Hence why I created Redactify. An all-in-one video & audio censoring tool to give content creators the confidence to post without feat of crippling their income, and to give media teams a tool that handles the 'busy work', so they can focus on quality whilst still meeting deadlines.

Super useful for creators who want to stay brand-safe without manually hunting down every slip. The mouth blur on top of the bleep is a nice touch — covers both audio and video platforms.

Does it handle different languages or is it English-only for now?

 Thanks! Yeah exactly, felt like it wouldn't be a proper solution without mouth blur.

To your question, yes it does! English is the most thoroughly supported language, but Spanish, French, German & Portuguese are also supported (with more coming in future)

This looks genuinely useful for creators and editors who spend way too much time on repetitive cleanup work. One thing I'd be curious about is how accurate the detection is across different accents and speaking styles.

 Hey Henry! Glad to hear you also see the value 😎

It's a great question, under the hood Redactify uses ElevenLabs, which (from what I've seen & experienced) seems to be best-in-class for transcription.

I've tested with a range of accents, but I'd be interested to hear your feedback if you get a chance to try it out yourself!

For audio/video tools, the edge cases are usually timeline alignment and review speed, not just detection accuracy. A profanity censor that stays frame-accurate and easy to audit is much more valuable than one that is merely clever.

 Interesting — there are tools in the app for reviewing & editing, but for timeline alignment we rely on the outputs of our backend processing. Would be a welcome feature to let users edit the exact timing as well. Noted 📝

This solves a real headache for creators who post across multiple platforms with different content policies. Manual bleeping is tedious and easy to miss. Curious how it handles context — some words are fine in one setting and not another. Does it let you customize the word list or is it one-size-fits-all? Congrats on the launch!

Great launch Kelechi! Automated profanity censoring for video and audio is a huge time-saver for content creators — manual bleeping is tedious and inconsistent. Does Redactify handle context-aware censoring, or does it catch every instance of a word regardless of whether it's actually offensive in context?
