Automatic Smart Redaction (ASR)
Automatic Smart Redaction (ASR) is an AI-powered audio and video redaction solution designed to dramatically reduce the time, cost, and complexity of preparing evidence for public release, court, or records requests. ASR delivers fast, accurate, and defensible redaction—without compromising video integrity.
AI Face & Body Detection
ASR scans video using artificial intelligence to automatically detect faces or bodies and track them throughout the entire video—even through movement, distance changes, or partial obstructions.
Automatic Tracking & Path Merging
If a subject briefly leaves the frame or becomes temporarily indistinguishable, ASR may create multiple detection paths. These paths can be merged with one click, ensuring continuous redaction of the same individual.
98%+ Accuracy with Manual Control
ASR delivers approximately 98% automatic accuracy. For the rare missed frame, users can instantly draw manual redaction boxes to ensure total coverage.
Automatic Audio Redaction
Identify and redact specific audio segments directly from the waveform timeline. Redacted audio can be muted or replaced with an audible tone at adjustable volume.
Multiple Redaction Styles
Choose how redactions appear in the final video: pixelated, masked, smooth, or solid—based on agency policy or court preference.
Fast, Easy & Intuitive
Designed for speed and ease of use, ASR includes keyboard shortcuts and a streamlined interface that minimizes training time.
Step-by-Step Redaction Workflow
Step 1 — Load an Unredacted Video
Select the unredacted video you want to process. ASR loads it into the Smart Redaction interface, ready for automatic detection or manual edits.
Step 2 — Detect Subjects & Merge Paths
ASR scans the video and lists detected faces or bodies. If the same individual appears as multiple detections, merge paths to maintain continuous redaction.
Step 3 — Redact Audio Segments
Redact sensitive audio directly from the waveform timeline. Redacted segments are clearly marked before final export.
Step 4 — Export the Final Redacted Video
Review the completed redactions, choose your preferred visual style, and export a compliant, court-ready video.
