US 2026/0141168 A1 · DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TRANSCRIPT SANITIZATION

Abstract

Disclosed herein are computer-implemented devices, systems, and methods of sanitizing a transcript. In an example, such a method includes selecting a transcript to be sanitized, identifying potential redactions to be made in the transcript, and redacting the transcript at the potential redactions to sanitize the transcript. The potential redactions are identifiable via a multi-pass process that includes: generating initial redactions to be made based on surrounding context within the transcript; generating matching redactions to be made based on the initial redactions, and generating character redactions to be made based on at least one of the initial redactions and the matching redactions.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method of sanitizing a transcript, the method comprising:

selecting a transcript to be sanitized,
identifying potential redactions to be made in the transcript, the potential redactions being identifiable via a multi-pass process that includes:
generating initial redactions to be made based on surrounding context within the transcript;
and
generating matching redactions to be made based on the initial redactions;
and
redacting the transcript at the potential redactions to sanitize the transcript.

4 more elements

A data processing system for intelligently sanitizing a transcript, the data processing system comprising:

an input module that is configured to receive a transcript that is to be sanitized;
an identification module that is configured to identify potential redactions to be made in the transcript, the potential redactions being identifiable via a multi-pass process that includes:
generating initial redactions to be made based on surrounding context within the transcript;
and
generating matching redactions to be made based on the initial redactions;
and
a processing module that is configured to sanitize the transcript by redacting the transcript at the potential redactions.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

select a transcript to be sanitized,
identify potential redactions to be made in the transcript, the potential redactions being identifiable via a multi-pass process that includes:
generating initial redactions to be made based on surrounding context within the transcript;
and
generating matching redactions to be made based on the initial redactions;
and
redact the transcript at the potential redactions to sanitize the transcript.
