How to: Bulk Redact Audio and Video Recordings

Overview

The Bulk Audio feature is an advanced tool built to handle large volumes of files at once! Similarly to performing Automatic Audio Redaction to redact Personal Identifiable Information (PII) from one file, within the Bulk Processing, CaseGuard Studio can redact hundreds of files for you all at once.

For instance, for agencies looking to redact hundreds of phone calls or interviews with multiple speakers revealing their names, social security numbers, and bank routing numbers, one bulk operation can mute or bleep it all! With just a few clicks, this feature can save you and your team hours of repeated work on redactions.

Additionally, CaseGuard Studio’s advanced AI can understand and redact audio files in over 50 different languages and dialects including English in the United States and the United Kingdom, Spanish, Canadian French, Russian, and Farsi. If the language of the audio is unknown, the software can detect and translate the spoken language in real-time.
