Recommendation letters identify a candidate and a referee. An AI evaluation needs the substance, not the people. AnonymizeDocs prepares reviewed copies locally.
Workflow
1. Select the document locally
Choose the PDF or DOCX from your device. The original stays in the browser.
2. Review names and identifiers
Check candidate and referee names plus contact details before anything changes.
3. Keep the content readable
Achievements, dates and context remain visible while identity-bearing values become placeholders.
4. Verify and export
Recheck the output, download the anonymized copy, then use it with the AI tool.
What gets reviewed
- Candidate and referee names
- Emails, phones and addresses

- Custom values you add for a specific letter
Stays on this device
- The original document is not uploaded to AnonymizeDocs.
- Extracted text, findings and replacements remain in the browser session.
- Account and purchase data are separate from document content.
Limitations: Redaction is a preparation step; hiring and admissions decisions remain your responsibility.
Frequently asked questions

What stays visible after redaction?
Dates, roles, policies and other non-identity content remain in the exported copy.
Is this suitable for HR records at scale?
Yes, for preparing reviewed copies; original records should still follow your HR and data-protection policies.
