RedactXpert

AI powered document auto-redaction 

Auto-Redaction tool using Microsoft’s Azure Cognitive Services – improving accuracy, efficiency and speed of redacting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) within documents.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with UK police forces to tackle crime and bring criminals to justice – Simpson Associates’ document auto-redaction solution reduces time spent on labour intensive redaction administration, and more time on serving the community.

The challenge in UK Policing

Vast numbers of documents per case are needing to be redacted and sent on to the Crown Prosecution Service on a daily basis within UK Police. Recognising the need for improvements in the redaction process, Simpson Associates have developed, in conjunction with Microsoft, “RedactXpert”– a tool that assists in the process of redacting documents using AI – delivering improved efficiency in the process and considerable time-saving benefits.

Redaction tools are already widely used within UK Police. However, RedactXpert takes the process to a new level.
