Hey Everyone, I'm Jon (CTO) of WebPurify. I wanted to answer some of your questions. 1) There will be false positives and negatives with any profanity filter, we just try our best to minimize these. Our filter's algorithm is based on several years of feedback from our customers and you have the options of adding words to your custom allow/reject lists. 2) Most of the alternative image and video moderation services us…

Do you really have people working 24x7 whose sole jobs are to look at images? Is approved or denied within a few seconds, or are they checking in batches? If I send 1000 images at once, how long would it take to hear back about all of them?

Our "standard criteria" team is staffed to operate 24/7 365 days a year.

We do our best to moderate every image within 5 minutes of submission. Today our average time to moderate was 47 seconds.

During times of very high volume it is possible that we may exceed our 5 minute goal, but this is rare.

We can also do custom projects if your criteria is different than our standard, or you require faster response times.

Feel free to get a free trial and give it try.

If you are referring to the profanity filter demo on our website, that is only active for English. Here is a list of the languages our full version licenses support:
