The patent outlines legitimate use cases—real-time translation, removing filler words like "um," or erasing stutters—alongside more controversial applications like eliminating regional colloquialisms ("y'all"), offensive words, and misused terms, with replacements sourced from internet searches. The patent notes that original video and audio would be stored as "ground truth" to address potential misuse concerns.
