Nintendo Switch GameChat Can Transcribe Curse Words

When Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 earlier this year, one of the big reveals was for GameChat, the console's video and voice chat hub. For the first time, Nintendo users have a program that gives players live captions and text-to-speech options. However, the latter might be a little too good, as it can apparently transcribe curse words as well.

Switch 2 owner David Howe confirmed Switch 2's ability to bring bad words from speech to text (via Eurogamer).

It's surprising that the issue wasn't addressed by launch, and given Nintendo's family-friendly reputation, we wouldn't be shocked if a future update limits or eliminates the ability to make the Switch 2 transcribe those words.
