PII Redaction and Entity Detection In 13 New Languages 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇳

Hey 👋, this weekly update contains the latest info on our new product features, tutorials, and our community.

PII Redaction and Entity Detection In 13 New Languages 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇳

We've expanded our PII Redaction and Entity Detection to include 13 new languages: Spanish, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.  

PII Redaction automatically finds and hides personal details like names and email addresses in transcripts to protect privacy. Entity Detection spots and categorizes important data in your audio, like names, organizations, addresses, and more.

Now you will be able to redact sensitive information and identify entities from audio in 13 new languages. 

Here's a code example of how to use PII-redaction and Entity Detection on French audio in Python:

import assemblyai as aai aai.settings.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY" audio_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/aai-web-samples/french1.mp3" config = aai.TranscriptionConfig(language_code="fr", entity_detection=True).set_redact_pii( policies=[ aai.PIIRedactionPolicy.person_name, aai.PIIRedactionPolicy.organization, aai.PIIRedactionPolicy.occupation, ], substitution=aai.PIISubstitutionPolicy.hash, ) transcript = aai.Transcriber().transcribe(audio_url, config) print(f"Redacted transcript: \n{transcript.text}\n") print("Entities:") for entity in transcript.entities: print(entity.text) print(entity.entity_type) print(f"Timestamp: {entity.start} - {entity.end}\n")

Example output:
