OpenRedakt features

One review workflow for documents and audio.

Bring documents and recordings into a consistent process: prepare the source, mark or review sensitive content, confirm each decision, then export and inspect the result.

The OpenRedakt document workspace with no document open: the manual redaction panel with selection modes, redaction appearance and reasons, beside the tool rail and the page tools

Suggestions stay reviewable

Detection candidates are presented for assessment; they do not silently become final decisions.

Human judgment stays visible

Manual marks, approvals, rejections, ranges, and reasons remain part of the working record.

Output is another checkpoint

Rendered files are inspected before release rather than treated as correct because an export completed.

01Document redaction

Review and redact sensitive information across documents and scans.

Move from pages and scans to reviewed marks with candidate detection where configured, precise manual controls, and an output you can inspect before release.

  • PDF and supported office-file preparation
  • Text and area controls for manual review
  • Candidate findings remain subject to reviewer decisions

02Audio redaction

Redact sensitive moments in audio with precise timeline control.

Use the waveform, manual time ranges, supported masking effects, and transcript context where available to review what should change before you render a new recording.

  • Manual waveform and timeline selections
  • Mute, tone, silence, and supported noise effects
  • Transcript context without claiming automatic analysis

Review to output

A review path that stays consistent across formats

The controls change with the medium. The responsibility to inspect every decision does not.

  1. 01

    Prepare the source

    Open a supported document or recording and confirm the page or waveform is ready for review.

  2. 02

    Find or mark

    Use available detection candidates or place the text, area, or audio range yourself.

  3. 03

    Review decisions

    Adjust scope, effects, and reasons while a reviewer remains responsible for every selection.

  4. 04

    Export and inspect

    Render the reviewed output, re-open it, and check the result before it is released.

Understand the operating boundaries

OpenRedakt is evaluated against representative files and configured tooling, not universal promises.
