When you sign up for a Tonic Textual account, you can immediately get started with a new pipeline.
Note that these instructions are for setting up a new account on Textual Cloud. For a self-hosted instance, depending on how it is set up, you might either create an account manually or use single sign-on (SSO).
To get started with a new Textual account:
Go to https://textual.tonic.ai/.
Click Sign up.
Enter your email address.
Create and confirm a password for your Textual account.
Click Sign Up.
Textual creates your account. After you log in, Textual prompts you to provide some additional information about yourself and how you plan to use Textual.
After you fill out the information and click Get Started, Textual displays the Textual Home page, which you can use to preview how Textual detects and replaces values. For more information, go to Previewing Textual detection and redaction.
After you set up an account on Textual Cloud, you start a Textual free trial, during which Textual scans up to 100,000 words for free. Note that Textual counts actual words, not tokens. For example, "Hello, my name is John Smith." counts as six words.
After the 100,000 words, Textual disables scanning for your account. Until you purchase a pay-as-you-go subscription, you cannot:
Add files to a dataset or pipeline
Run a pipeline
During your free trial, Textual displays the current usage in the following locations:
On the Home page
In the navigation menu
On the Playground
Textual also prompts you to purchase a pay-as-you-go subscription, which allows an unlimited number of words scanned for a flat rate per 1,000 words.
You can also request a Textual product demo.
