FAQ

Is the redaction HIPAA-safe-harbour ready?+

Blackline AI detects all 18 HIPAA identifiers; you stay in control to verify before export.

Can I keep diagnosis codes visible?+

Yes. Toggle off the 'Names' and 'Addresses' categories – diagnosis text is not redacted by default.

Are documents stored?+

No. Processing happens entirely in your browser.

Does it support handwritten notes?+

OCR handles printed text best. Handwritten notes may need manual redaction.
