The Hidden Cost of Manual Document Redaction

It's AWESOME! Love it and have told my colleagues in law about it. This program saved me about 30+ hours on a project with about 1,000 pages of medical records vs. doing it "by hand" and then saved me hours when it saved the redactions and allowed me to "unredact" per a Judge's order. WONDERFUL software!! I taught myself how to use the software in about 5 minutes - no joke. So easy to use!
