Omit Redact 1.0.0 beta 10
Pre-release
Tenth beta of Omit Redact. Fully offline PII detection and redaction for Windows.
What changed since beta.9
A document with no images in it could get refused outright, or have most of its pages turned into pictures. The message named the reason, VERIFICATION_FAILED, but not the cause, and the pages-became-an-image note made it look like the app had mistaken plain text for a scanned page. It had not. Detection scores every occurrence of a value on its own, so the same name, place or number can be confirmed on one page of a document and missed on another, purely from the wording around it. Nothing carried a confirmed value to its own exact twin elsewhere in the file, so the untouched twin survived redaction, the app's own leak check found it, and it did the right thing: it refused to write a file it could not vouch for, rather than quietly ship one with a value still in it.
A value confirmed once is now carried to every place in the document where it appears unchanged, before redaction runs, so the review screen shows the full picture rather than the redaction step tripping over a gap review never saw.
On the document this was first reported against, this closed roughly seven in ten of the leftover spans that used to force a refusal. It does not close all of them. A short, generic string, two to four characters, can legitimately appear elsewhere in a document for reasons that have nothing to do with the original detection, and reaching for those too would start blacking out ordinary text that was never PII. That trade was left as is, on purpose: a refusal costs you a re-run, ordinary text redacted by mistake costs you the document.
