Veilio blurs explicit images and video on a reviewer's screen. They uncover what they need to see, when they need to see it.

The aperture, in your browser

This is a simple mock-up to show the idea, not Veilio itself. Move your pointer over the picture, or tap it on a phone.

In Veilio the aperture works over the reviewer's own application, on whatever is on the screen. They open it on purpose to check one detail without uncovering the whole image. It closes by itself after a set time, and every use is recorded. The films above show the real thing.

How it works

Choose the application
The reviewer picks the window they work in. Veilio blurs explicit material in that window as it appears. The rest of the screen is left alone.
Uncover with one key
Press once to uncover, press again to blur. If they forget, it blurs again by itself after a set time.
Look at a detail
A small circle under the mouse pointer shows part of the picture instead of all of it.
Draw a box
Anything inside a box the reviewer draws stays blurred all the time, which suits a video player or a preview pane. Drawing a box also mutes the application.
Read a description
Veilio can describe in words what is under a blur, so the reviewer can often decide what it is without looking.

How it recognises the material

Veilio uses AI models to recognise explicit images and video as they appear on screen. Another model writes the descriptions. A model that recognises injury and death, for crash and claims work and for violent crime, is being developed and tested.

The models run on your own computers or servers. No image is sent to us or to any AI company, at any point.

Automatic detection can miss things. A box drawn by the reviewer stays blurred whatever the models decide, and if a model will not load or stops responding, Veilio blurs the whole window until it is working again.

If something goes wrong

If part of Veilio fails, more of the screen is blurred. A detector that will not load, a crash or an unplugged display all end with more covered than before. There is no fault that leaves a reviewer seeing more.

Where it runs

Windows
On each reviewer's PC, or on shared servers that their desktops connect to.
Your own equipment
Everything runs on your premises or in your own cloud account. Nothing is sent to us.
What is kept
Screen content is held in memory while it is used, then thrown away. An optional short recording, used to describe the last few minutes, is encrypted and deleted when Veilio closes. It is off unless an administrator turns it on.

Records

Veilio logs each time something is uncovered: when, for how long and which part of the screen. It never logs what was on it.

The log can be collected by most security monitoring systems. Managers can see how much each person has been exposed to over a week or a month.

What it does not do

Veilio does not stop anyone seeing something they need to see, and it does not monitor productivity. The material still has to be looked at. Veilio reduces how often, and for how long.
