Real-time transcript feed redaction is the removal of personal data from the live text streamed during a deposition under FRCP 30(b)(3). anonym.plus runs on your device and keeps the rough stream useful for fast review.
When this applies
Counsel receives a live stream during a session and saves it for review. The streamed text names people, so the IDs must be hidden before it circulates.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Save the file and open it in anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool flags names, dates, and account numbers.
- Annotation marks counsel added stay in place.
- Swap or black out the confirmed identifiers.
- Save the clean copy on your device.
What you need to provide
- The saved stream (TXT, RTF, PTF, or DOCX export).
- An operator (Replace keeps annotations clear).
- Optional name map to match the certified record.

Limitations & cautions
A live stream is rough and holds untranslated steno and errors. Misheard names can dodge a match, so review the flags. Match labels to the certified record so the two stay consistent.
