Hi, how could I filter the output words for a command to HA? For example, if I say "play the radio," the voice assistant might interpret it as "play the radio [beep]" or include similar disturbances in brackets. Is there a way to filter all of this at once so that anything in square brackets is ignored by the voice command?

Can anyone advise please?

[brackets] exist to add optional elements to phrase templates. However, your request is not quite clear. Please try to rephrase it and explain the desired result with a specific example.

I believe it's your STT engine. What do you use?

As speech-to-text or as conversation agent?
