Open Source auto-bleeper for podcasts and songs about ideas

You're having a so similar XY problem to the previous OP that I'm wondering if you're one and the same 😅

Say you install an app on your kids' devices that bleeps everything everywhere.

What's gonna happen when they listen to music with friends on their devices ? Nothing.

This is an education problem, that shouldn't be attempted to be solved with technical means.

While my use case focused on my children (mostly listening to Spotify and podcasts in the car), I was more thinking this was a niche (but still relevant) sort of issue that doesn't seem to have an open-source option. I could potentially see use cases for listening with kids, for listening to music in a corporate setting, or just for people who don't like swear words (haha, like my mother in law!)
Especially since Speech to Text and AI-adjacent projects are picking up steam, I thought this sort of project could be a good starting point, and (depending on interest and development) could have the potential to pick up in several different types of technology, like a browser extension, web app, or mobile app.

If there's no interest in this project I can close the issue, I just felt like your response on kids' devices (which I totally understand by the way!) is only focusing on one specific use case, when I could see this project possibly fitting multiple scenarios.

@ppeters0502 I'm interested, I think your use case is actually pretty common.

For text-to-speech, whisper.cpp (https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) could be used for free.

Not sure how we could get intercept the audio stream from something like Spotify even if we can mute the volume. I guess we could find the podcast from separate source, and use the same detected timestamps for mute?
