Technology embedded into the VCR will
filter foul language from pre-recorded movies which have
CC (Closed Caption). Words detected by TVG

will be
muted from the program audio channel, and a version of
the phrase, with the foul language converted to a suitable
replacement word, can be displayed on the TV screen.
This is accomplished by a process which:
• reads the hidden signals for closed captions,
• detects offensive language,
• momentarily mutes the sound, and
• displays acceptable words and phrases.
