Localine AI Takes the Words Out of Redacted Files
A browser-based tool that removes names, identifiers, financial details, and health information from PDF, TXT, and Markdown files without uploading them.
Field notes
Localine describes a three-step, in-browser workflow: open a PDF, TXT, or Markdown file, identify private material, and save a clean copy to disk. Its stated coverage spans 55 categories, including passport numbers, IBANs, diagnoses, email addresses, and postcodes. The homepage includes a sample letter containing an account number, contact details, and client reference, plus a hold-to-redact interaction intended to show that removed text is no longer selectable.
