AML case batch redaction strips customer identifiers from a whole folder of files in one run, supporting the BSA program duty under 31 U.S.C. § 5318. anonym.plus processes up to 20 at a time on your device, with a shared map so one subject maps to one alias everywhere.
When this applies
A team prepares many closed dossiers for a training library or audit sample. One-by-one work risks drift, so a batch run cleans the set evenly.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Point anonym.plus at the folder on your machine.
- It scans each file for names, IDs, and accounts.
- Local OCR reads any scanned pages in the set.
- A shared map keeps repeat subjects steady across files.
- Review the summary and fix low-confidence flags.
- Save the clean set locally.
What you need to provide
- A folder of files (PDF, DOCX, mixed).
- The shared label map turned on for steady results.
- An operator (Replace works well for a set).

Limitations & cautions
Keep full records for examiners; clean only library or sample copies. The shared map can re-link the set if kept, so turn it off for true anonymity. If any file is a SAR, confidentiality still applies.
Frequently asked questions
How does batch mode keep one subject steady?
A shared map logs each person once, so the same subject maps to the same alias in every file across the folder.
How many files can one run handle?
Up to 20 per batch, all processed locally with OCR for any scanned pages.
Does batch work upload anything?
No. The whole run is offline, so the data stays on your machine.
