Handle a scan or make a demo copy
Use Cloak's optional scan OCR, or make a fake-data copy for a demonstration without calling it redacted or anonymised.
Source reviewed Product documentation
When Cloak says This is a scan — there's no text to read in the browser, you can choose OCR this scan on our AU server. That sends the scan to BeforeMay's Australian service for detection. The page says the scan is processed in memory and discarded; the detected boxes return for review. You can also skip OCR and draw boxes by hand. The final PDF is generated on your device in either case.
For a product demonstration, Fake data — swap in invented values replaces detected identifiers with consistent surrogate values. The button changes the download action to Download fake-data copy, and the filename ends in .demo.pdf. This is a pseudonymised demo copy. It is not anonymised and is not the redacted file to use for a privacy obligation. Manual boxes remain blacked out; some OCR boxes without source text do too.
