Simple redaction script

🕵️ PII Redaction Tool

Wipes out personal info from text files using Microsoft Presidio.

🚀 Installation

pip install redaction

🧹 Usage

redact file.txt
redact file.txt -o output.txt

• Use the -o flag to specify your own output file.

💡 Example

Input:

My name is John Doe and my email is [e-mail].

Output:

My name is <PERSON> and my email is <EMAIL_ADDRESS>.

🧠 Tech Notes

• Built on top of Microsoft Presidios Analyzer + Anonymizer.

• Designed for quick local use or integration in your data pipeline.

⚠️ Heads up:

No PII tool is perfect — always sanity-check the output before using it in production.
