Yes, after accessing the site, all processing (including the AI recognition) happens locally in your browser, on your device. No text nor file ever leaves your device, except for subscription verification (which sends only the license key, never your text, files, nor identifying information).
You can paste text, or drag-and-drop or load .txt, .docx, or .pdf files. All conversion to raw text is done in your browser. For .docx and .pdf, the app will load a parser only when needed. For batch processing of multiple files at once, download the CamoText Pro desktop app.
CamoText Plus recognizes and anonymizes many types of sensitive data for subscribers, including:
Subscribers get access to enhanced local AI-powered recognition that uses a lightweight BERT neural network to identify person names, organization names, locations, and other miscellaneous entities. The AI model downloads and runs entirely on your device - no data is ever sent to external servers. This means you get state-of-the-art entity recognition while maintaining privacy.
The anonymization process is fast, but the time depends on the size of the text and the speed of your device. The app has an encoded five minute timeout in the event an extremely large file is beyond your device's capabilities. If you're using Plus for the first time, try anonymizing a small file first to gauge timing.
We offer monthly ($4.99/month) and annual ($39.99/year, 33% savings) subscriptions. You can cancel anytime with no long-term commitment. For subscribers, processing is limited only by your device's browser memory and speed.
Your device's browser memory and speed may limit very large files. For best performance, use a modern desktop browser. The CamoText Pro desktop app supports more formats and features (including user configuration and batch processing), with considerably more power.
However, sensitivity and confidentiality can be subjective to the user, and even the best recognizers are not perfect, so a human's review of the output is always necessary. Our software is intended to be efficient, easy-to-use private by design tools for superpowered human productivity.
Get the CamoText Pro desktop app for even more features, formats, and anonymization power.
