Tonic Textual guide

View a video introduction to Tonic Textual.

The Tonic Textual application and API allow you to synthesize or redact sensitive information in free-text and image files. Textual identifies specific types of sensitive values. You decide whether and how to replace those values. You can then use the redacted versions of the files for testing or training.

Textual scans files to identify and redact sensitive values

One use case for Textual is to remove sensitive values from data before you train a text-based model.

For example, an insurance company needs a trained model to help with the development of a customer service chatbot. They want to use transcripts of previous customer service calls as a source for the trained data, but do not want the chatbot to reveal sensitive information about actual clients.
