Redact Text From Documents Before Using AI

Documents often contain sensitive or confidential information.

This may include:

• personal data
• customer information
• medical records
• contracts
• financial details
• internal business communication
• research material
• private messages

Many people copy content from documents into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok or other AI assistants without realizing how much sensitive information is included.

Removing sensitive data before sharing or processing text helps reduce privacy, security and compliance risks.

Redaxa allows users to work with text in different ways.

You can:

• paste text directly
• write text inside the editor
• import DOCX files
• import PDF files
• import ODT documents
• import EPUB files
• import HTML files
• import TXT files

This makes it easy to prepare text from many different sources before sharing or using it with AI systems.

Redaxa imports and processes text extracted from documents.

The application does not visually edit or overwrite PDF or DOCX files directly.

Instead, users can import text from documents, detect sensitive information locally and prepare cleaned versions safely for sharing, anonymization workflows or AI-assisted tasks.

Original Text

Patient Emily Carter visited the clinic in Manchester on 12 March 2026.
Please send follow-up information to [email protected].

Redacted

Patient [REDACTED] visited the clinic in [REDACTED] on [REDACTED].
Please send follow-up information to [REDACTED].

Pseudonymized

Patient [PERSON_1] visited the clinic in [LOCATION_1] on [DATE_1].
Please send follow-up information to [EMAIL_1].

The important context remains intact while sensitive information is removed locally before sharing the text.

Many anonymization and AI privacy tools require users to upload documents or text to cloud services.

For sensitive information, this can itself become a privacy or compliance concern.

Redaxa works locally on your own PC.

No cloud processing. No external AI required. No document uploads.

This makes Redaxa suitable for:

• GDPR-sensitive workflows
• healthcare organizations
• legal departments
• research institutions
• business communication
• privacy-conscious users
• users working with confidential documents

Redaxa helps users safely prepare text before sharing it with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok or other AI assistants.

• detect sensitive information automatically
• highlight risky content
• redact, anonymize or pseudonymize sensitive text
• prepare prompts safely before using AI systems
• process text locally without cloud uploads

The application works locally and supports multiple languages.
