CamoText

Yes, all processing happens locally in your browser software -- no text is sent to our servers.

Unlike the app, you must navigate to this webpage to use the free demo. Consider bookmarking it for future use.

However, this demo does not require any signup or login and can be used on mobile devices.

This free version recognizes and anonymizes some types of text in common patterns only:

• Single word company names
• Date of birth
• Social Security numbers
• Email addresses
• Street addresses
• Numerical money amounts
• Phone numbers
• Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses
• URLs
• Filepaths
• IP addresses

which are far fewer than what the full CamoText Pro app can detect. Note that the free version's recognizers are also far less performant than the full app.

Like the app, users can also manually highlight and anonymize any text in the output, and should review the output closely before using for any purpose.

Because this demo is limited by browser memory capacity and uses javascript rather than python, the logic is not as sophisticated and does not include the app's natural language processing software to recognize more subjective and complex data like names of persons, written-out monetary amounts, certain types of companies, and more.

This demo is limited to text and .txt files, so it does not support .pdf, .docx, or other formats supported by the app. It also does not have the more convenient user experience of opening the output to review in a new window, and other features.

Finally, because this demo is hosted on the CamoText website, CamoText can update the demo code and anonymization logic at any time without notice, for example to change features or user experience. If you download the Pro version of the CamoText app, the code cannot be changed without a new download.
