Configure Redaction

Learn how to define and publish a BrainEngine project.

Create Project

To protect sensitive data, a project needs to be configured in order to redact the defined entities for a given audio file.

For this example, we will redact the following entities:

• Person

{
    "sid": "NER000",
    "name": "ner",
    "active": true,
    "agent_location": "left",
    "inbound": true,
    "scrubaudio": true,
    "scrubtext": true,
    "rules": [
        {
            "name": "Person",
            "active": true,
            "mask_type": "Placeholder",
            "setting": "[NAME]",
            "real_time": true
        }
    ]
}
