Insurance

Redaction for claims files, recorded statements, and supporting reports.

A single claim can hold policy documents, medical reports, correspondence, and a recorded statement. OpenRedakt brings documents and recordings into one review process before the file is shared with experts, counterparties, or litigants.

Who this is for

For claims, investigations, and recovery teams

Claims files move between adjusters, loss assessors, medical experts, investigators, reinsurers, and lawyers. Each handover can expose information about the policyholder, and about third parties who never agreed to appear in the file.

  • Claims handlers and adjusters
  • Special investigations units
  • Claims litigation and recovery teams
  • Third-party administrators and loss assessors

Practical challenges

Why redaction is harder than it looks here

  1. 01

    Evidence arrives in every format

    Forms, reports, correspondence, and recorded statements often sit in the same claim. Reviewing each in a separate tool makes it harder to see what has already been handled.

  2. 02

    Statements name bystanders

    Recorded statements and claim calls routinely mention people and vehicles unrelated to the claim, and their details should not travel with the evidence.

  3. 03

    Medical information travels with the claim

    Injury and treatment details need tighter handling than the rest of the file, especially when evidence is shared with a counterparty.

  4. 04

    Evidence is shared again and again

    The same report or statement may go to an assessor, an expert, and opposing counsel, and each release needs its own check of the rendered file.

Sensitive information

What insurance teams commonly need to protect

  • Policyholder details

    Names, addresses, policy numbers, and bank details for claim payments.

  • Medical and injury information

    Medical reports, treatment notes, and descriptions of injuries.

  • Third-party identities

    Witnesses, other drivers, neighbours, and bystanders named in statements or claim calls.

  • Vehicle and location details

    Licence plates, house numbers, and incident locations written in reports or read out in statements.

Relevant workflows

How OpenRedakt supports insurance workflows

Each workflow lists the capabilities that apply, with the conditions that affect them in practice.

Documents (primary format)

Claim forms, reports, and correspondence

Open claim forms, reports, and correspondence in the document workflow, recognise text on scans, review candidate identifiers, and draw area marks over signatures or handwritten details.

Supported capabilities

  • Open PDFs, images, and supported office formats for review.Non-PDF formats are converted at import; some formats require LibreOffice.
  • Run OCR on scans and image-based pages when OCR tooling is configured.Recognition quality depends on the source and installed OCR tooling.
  • Surface candidate sensitive information for reviewer assessment.Available categories and engines depend on local model or optional job configuration.
  • Add text and area redactions directly on a document page.
  • Review, edit, approve, reject, and record reasons for redaction marks.
  • Re-open and inspect supported document output before it is used.Output checking supports review; it is not a guarantee that every sensitive item was found.

Audio

Recorded statements and claim calls

Mark spans where a claimant or witness gives medical details or names a third party, preview the masking effect, and export the statement for onward sharing.

Supported capabilities

  • Draw, adjust, and review manual redaction ranges on an audio timeline.
  • Apply supported effects including mute, tone, silence, and noise masks.Effect availability and output formats depend on configured media tooling.
  • Preview supported audio effects before export.Preview depends on a decodable source and configured media tooling.
  • Render reviewed audio ranges to a supported output format and inspect the result.Export requires configured media tooling and representative output review.
Audio redaction workflow
OpenRedakt audio export dialog: the redacted copy is written as a new file with the chosen file type, audio output and export mode, and the original recording is left unchanged

Capability boundaries

Considerations before you evaluate

  • Audio redaction is manual-first. Reviewers mark each span and listen to the exported statement before it is shared.
  • Audio decoding and export depend on configured FFmpeg tooling and the formats in each source file. Test with your own recorded statements.
  • OpenRedakt does not decide what a counterparty or court is entitled to see.
