Press Release
Informative Graphics Introduces New Redact-It Desktop with
OCR and Microsoft Office Support for Multi-Format File Redaction
Includes Support for Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint,
and Excel in Addition to PDF and TIFF Files
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—February 2, 2009— At LegalTech
New York 2009 (Feb. 2-4), Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC),
a leader in content visualization, collaboration and redaction
technology, today officially releases Redact-It® Desktop 1.1
for removal of sensitive content and privacy information such
as social security numbers, names and phone numbers before making
documents more widely available. The software dramatically reduces
the time it takes to redact, review and release documents for
public access, eDiscovery and other processes. Redact-It Desktop
1.1 applies powerful redaction capabilities to Microsoft Word,
Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel, the most widely used software
programs in the world, while providing OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) processing of documents to convert PDFs and TIFFs
into text-searchable files. Redact-It never alters source files,
saving the redacted renditions as easily distributable TIFF
or PDF files.
“Extending the power of Redact-It to popular Microsoft programs people
use across every industry was critically important,” said Gary Heath,
President and CEO of IGC. “Privacy and attorney-client privilege laws
mandate that attorneys, government officials and health care professionals
ensure confidential information is not inadvertently released. With
Redact-It Desktop 1.1, we've made it easy for them to securely remove
information in documents they create and share every day.”
Redact-It Desktop is the first low-cost desktop application using
pattern recognition to find and redact information within a document.
It includes many built-in macros to redact privacy information such
as names, phone numbers, social security numbers, driver license numbers,
credit card numbers, birth dates and more. Users can also create custom
search macros and scripts for specific needs like account or ID numbers.
Redact-It also includes “Defined Area Redaction” (drawing a box around
the area to be redacted), adding the ability to redact an entire page
or range of pages. Combined with Redact-It’s “peek through” feature,
this makes it easy to select limited areas to remain visible.
Key features of Redact-It 1.1 include:
- Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint support. Not only
can the documents be opened natively, Redact-It can install a plug-in
into these applications to launch of the current document in Redact-It.
For Outlook, Redact-It supports the message body and attachments.
- Ability to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when opening
TIFF documents, creating searchable text.
- Scripting capability. Users can record redaction actions to create
a reusable script that can be run on other documents.
- Ability to create a draft version of the redacted document for
review by others before finalizing redactions.
- Redact a full page, range of pages or the entire document.
- Ability to filter redactions during the Verify step. For example,
users can filter all redactions by reason code or search pattern.
- Ability to redact "all but..." For example, a user
can redact all social security numbers, but leave the last four
digits, or redact all phone numbers or email addresses except those
specifically stated.
- Extensive logging of search terms used, who performed each redaction
and when, scripts run and redaction templates applied, creating
a useful audit trail of redactions.
- Ability to delete all redactions. Users can now delete all redactions,
or only those of a particular color or reason code, making modifying
redactions easier.
- “Entire document validated” feature that walks users through
the document in a very focused way and creates a specific log entry
when the reviewer has completed this visual verification of the
entire document.
A 15-day trial version is available at: www.redact-it.com/download/.
The base version of Redact-It Desktop 1.1 is available immediately
and priced at $195 with the OCR option available for an additional
$49 USD.
Other members of the Redact-It family include Redact-It Enterprise
Server for batch and automated redaction as part of workflow processes,
and Redact-It for Kofax® Ascent Capture®, which works directly within
the Kofax batch process to remove the data from selected redaction
zones with associated OCR text, typically as files are bulk loaded
into a document repository. For more information, visit www.redact-it.com.
