Can I watch Moana without the swearing?
Family Filter TV mutes matching language automatically while a title plays through a supported route such as Stremio, on Android TV and Android phones. The picture keeps playing and only the sound briefly drops. You choose a mild, family or strict filter. With the family filter on, none of the 1,233 subtitle lines in Moana would be muted. Filtering availability varies by title, and the app tells you when it is unavailable.
Why might another site give a different swear word count for Moana?
Our count comes from automated analysis of the English subtitles, and we count every time a flagged word appears. A word that is bleeped, mumbled or not written in the subtitles is not counted, a different subtitle release of the film can give a different number, and every site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
How we counted
The count comes from automated analysis of the film's English subtitles, not from a person listening to the film. Every time a flagged word appears it is counted, and each one is placed in a category. Other guides can give a different number for the same film: a word that is bleeped or not written in the subtitles cannot be counted, different subtitle releases of a film differ, and each site decides for itself what counts as a swear word.
What Family Filter TV can filter
- Profanity, matched against your chosen filter profile (mild, family or strict).
- Subtitle-driven mute events — the sound briefly drops on a matching line and returns right after.
How filtering works
Open the title through a supported playback route such as Stremio. Family Filter TV analyses subtitle cues against your household filter settings and automatically mutes matching dialogue during playback. The picture keeps playing — only the sound briefly drops.
