Code Four Redact finds the faces, plates, screens, spoken identifiers, and document PII in your evidence, shows a reviewer exactly what it plans to cover, and only then burns the redaction in permanently.
"Blur every bystander face but keep officers visible" is a complete instruction. Code Four compiles the request into a detection policy, finds the subjects across the whole file, and follows each one as they move, turn away, leave frame, and come back.
A released recording leaks just as much through audio as through video. Redact transcribes the recording, locates spoken identifiers as precise spans, and either bleeps them or mutes them depending on how long they are.
and he told me his date of birth was March 2nd, 2002, then gave an address of 1310 South Main Street before he handed the phone back.
Records requests rarely arrive as video alone. Redact reads each page, proposes boxes over names, dates of birth, addresses, identifiers, signatures, and photos, and grounds every box against the words in the document's own text layer.
Boxes snap to the words in the document's text layer. 1 item needs a decision before export.
Redaction is permanent, so the review step is the product. Every job waits in a queue with its detections listed, its uncertain items flagged, and a named reviewer attached before anything can be exported.
Agencies evaluate software by the jobs it helps them complete. These are the operational workflows this product supports.
Turn a records request into a releasable copy by redacting bystander faces, minors, plates, and screens across an entire video instead of drawing boxes frame by frame.
Protect uninvolved people, victims, witnesses, and juveniles while leaving the evidentiary content of the footage intact.
Mute or bleep spoken identifiers in recorded audio and cover names, addresses, signatures, and identifiers in PDFs and reports.
Produce a redacted copy for prosecutors, outside agencies, media, or public release while the original evidence file stays untouched.
AI redaction software finds sensitive content in evidence and covers it so a copy can be released. Code Four Redact detects faces, license plates, screens, spoken identifiers, and document PII, proposes the redactions, and waits for a reviewer to approve them before anything is applied.
Yes. Redact takes a plain-English request such as "blur every bystander's face but keep officers visible" and compiles it into a detection policy. A reviewer can still add, remove, resize, or draw redactions by hand on the timeline before export.
No. Review happens first, then the apply pass permanently burns the redaction into a new output file and deletes the underlying pixels. Your original evidence file is never modified, so the unredacted source stays intact for the case.
All three. Video redaction covers faces, plates, screens, and open-vocabulary targets; audio redaction mutes or bleeps spoken identifiers; document redaction covers names, addresses, signatures, and identifiers in PDFs and DOCX files.
The pipeline deliberately over-detects, runs a second gap-fill pass to catch anything not already covered, and flags low-confidence items in amber for the reviewer. A missed face is a privacy failure; an extra blur is something the reviewer can remove in one click.
Code Four Redact helps records staff turn a public records request into a releasable copy, protecting bystanders, victims, minors, plates, screens, and PII without drawing boxes frame by frame.
Describe what has to be protected — bystander faces, minors, plates, screens, addresses — and let the system work out where those things are in the file.
Redact faces, plates, and screens in footage, mute or bleep spoken identifiers in recordings, and cover names, addresses, and signatures in PDFs.
Every proposed redaction is reviewable, adjustable, and reversible right up until the moment a person approves the export.
The apply pass burns the redaction into a new file and removes the underlying pixels and text, while the original evidence stays untouched.
For agencies searching for video redaction software, FOIA redaction tools, body-camera face and license-plate redaction, or document and audio PII redaction, Redact is the release layer connected to Code Four's broader report and investigation workflow.
