What is Annotated Text Redaction?
e-Redact allows users to quickly and easily remove sensitive information from a paper-based or electronic file using text redaction.

Text redaction is used when original information must be redacted from a document but an explanatory ad-hoc note may be helpful in describing why the information has been removed.

A good example of this may be the removal of an address from a letter as it may be a 'Safe House' used for protecting witnesses.

How do Annotated Text Redactions Work?
The text redaction tool can be configured to any format but ordinarily the user would define white background redaction boxes and black text.  The text redaction tool is used to simply draw a rectangle around the area of the document to be redacted and upon release of the rectangle the user is able to key notes about why the redaction has been applied.

This tool can also be used to quickly add comments to a redacted document almost like an electronic post-it note.
