File Privacy Processing

Document redaction is assessed on samples for format, targets and output; it is outside the standard image and video API pricing.

What it does

Image and video redaction are available now; text and document redaction start with a sample assessment.

Formats

PDF, JSON, CSV and TXT first; Word, Excel and PowerPoint confirmed separately.

Multi-page documents

Multi-page PDFs processed as one document with results per page.

Output validation

Output format, layout and readability confirmed on real samples; exact layout preservation is not guaranteed by default.

Format list

For scoping; the actual scope follows sample validation.

Names, phone numbers and ID numbers in registration exports.

Public notices

ID numbers and addresses in published notices, partially masked by rule.

How it works

Text layer first, OCR for scans

OCR

Scans and image-only PDFs are read first, then sensitive content is located.

Layout analysis

Body text, tables and images are told apart and located precisely.

Output review

Results and output format are checked before integration; the parts you will review manually are agreed.

Confirm the document scope first

Describe formats, samples and volume; we assess and quote a deliverable scope.
