Pimloc Launches Transcription Tool for Recordings Containing Sensitive Data

Educational institutions are among the intended users of software that combines transcript review, translation and personal information redaction.

Privacy technology company Pimloc has introduced Pimloc Transcribe, an AI-powered tool for transcribing and redacting sensitive audio and video recordings.

The software produces searchable text with speaker labels and timestamps for users including educational institutions, police agencies, government organizations and legal departments.

Organizations handling sensitive recordings can use the new Pimloc tool to create transcripts, correct errors and remove personal information before sharing files.

Users can compare transcripts with the source recording, revise wording and combine labels when the software incorrectly treats one speaker as several people. Passages with poor sound quality or uncertain transcription results are marked for additional review, according to Pimloc.

For recordings in languages other than English, the tool can display an English translation with the original transcript.

The platform identifies and categorizes sensitive details, including names, addresses and phone numbers, for individual or bulk redaction. Users can also redact audio and download transcripts with selected information removed.

Interviews, recorded evidence and footage from body cameras are among the types of material the tool can process, Pimloc said. Its combined functions allow users to review and prepare recordings for disclosure without transferring them among separate transcription and redaction services.
