Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Online platforms need a way to provide a safe and civil en vironment in communications between userdevices. Text communications are easier to moderate than audio communications because users are moretolerant of delays in transmitting text messages. In addition, moderating text communications is e asierthan audio streams because text can be compared to a list of prohibited or problematic words. Conversely,moderation of audio streams is more difficult to analyze because of the variation in accents, tone, volume,the use of sarcasm, etc.
