🕵️ PII Redaction Tool

Wipes out personal info from text files using Microsoft Presidio.

Built for devs who want something lightweight, fast, and Torch-free — a no-drama way to clean text.

🚀 Installation

pip install redaction

🧹 Usage

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

• By default, the redacted version lands in the same directory as your input file.
• Use the -o flag to specify your own output file.

💡 Example

Input:

My name is John Doe and my email is john@example.com.

Output:

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

🧠 Tech Notes

• Built on top of Microsoft Presidio's Analyzer + Anonymizer.
• No GPU, no Torch — just clean text ops.
• 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.
