## 🤔 why safetext?

**Fast profanity detection and filtering for 13 languages.**

- **Multi-format Detection**: Single words, phrases, and contextual profanity
- **Whitelisting**: Exclude specific words from detection
- **Auto Language Detection**: From text or subtitle files
- **Precise Filtering**: Exact position tracking and custom censoring
- **Simple Integration**: One-line setup with clean API

## 📦 installation

easily install **safetext** with pip:

```bash
pip install safetext
```

for development setup, see our [scripts documentation](scripts/README.md).

## 🎯 quickstart

### check and censor profanity

```python
>>> from safetext import SafeText

>>> st = SafeText(language='en')

>>> results = st.check_profanity(text='Some text with <profanity-word>.')
>>> results
{'word': '<profanity-word>', 'index': 4, 'start': 15, 'end': 31}

>>> text = st.censor_profanity(text='Some text with <profanity-word>.')
>>> text
"Some text with ***."
```

### using whitelist

exclude specific words from profanity detection:

```python
# Using a list of words
>>> st = SafeText(language='en', whitelist=['word1', 'word2'])

# Using a file (one word per line)
>>> st = SafeText(language='en', whitelist='path/to/whitelist.txt')
```

### automated language detection

- from text:

```python
>>> from safetext import SafeText

>>> eng_text = "This story is about to take a dark turn."

>>> st = SafeText(language=None)
>>> st.set_language_from_text(eng_text)

>>> st.language
'en'
```

- from .srt (subtitle) file:

```python
>>> from safetext import SafeText

>>> turkish_srt_file_path = "turkish.srt"

>>> st = SafeText(language=None)
>>> st.set_language_from_srt(turkish_srt_file_path)

>>> st.language
'tr'
```
