Protecting the people
who protect others.

You decide what needs protecting — TaoTab applies the masking. Highlight content directly or search for it, choose a style, and a clean copy is produced without touching the original. Three masking styles: [REDACTED] for formal or legal documents, a visual block-out for review copies, or consistent pseudo-names for comparative work. The judgement stays with your staff, where it belongs.

Three independent awareness tools enabled from a single right-click menu — Deep Security Scan, PII Scan, and HTML Secure. Each runs silently and raises a clear, plain-English alert when something warrants attention. No security knowledge required to act on the result. Nothing found is stored or transmitted. It flags. It does not block. Genuine protection for teams who would otherwise have no signal at all.

HTML emails, embedded forms, and web-sourced documents are part of daily work — and opening them blindly is a genuine risk. TaoTab renders them inside a sealed viewer using two independent protection layers: active elements are stripped before the content reaches the viewer, and the viewer itself runs in a locked sandbox with no network access and no scripting of any kind. Nothing connects. Nothing executes.

Charities receive images from vulnerable people and unknown third parties every day. Before any image opens, TaoTab checks its true file signature — not just its name or extension. Files that have been disguised or tampered with are flagged and blocked before they can do anything. No scripts. No embedded content. The risk is stopped before it reaches the screen.

Organises work into multiple independent text sections within a single tab. Each section has its own title, formatting controls, paste tools, and analysis — ideal for case notes, referrals, and structured documents that need to stay clearly separated on screen. Both Section and Reflect layouts support drag-and-drop file import.

Two sections displayed side by side for direct visual comparison of documents, drafts, or sources of information — without switching between windows or files. Images and PDF documents can be dropped into either pane, making it straightforward to keep a referral or supporting document visible on one side while working with notes or a redacted copy on the other. Shaped differently in the tab bar so it is always identifiable at a glance.

Tabs can be renamed, duplicated, reordered by drag, and closed at any time. Right-click shortcuts for adding new tabs of the same type. Sessions are saved and restored exactly as left — all content, layout, and section titles intact.

Load a single saved tab from any previous .taotab file without disturbing current work. A clear picker lets you choose exactly what comes in. Nothing overwritten. No data merged silently. Reference templates and safeguarding frameworks always one import away.

Session files can be protected with a password before saving. The file is encrypted using AES-256 — the same standard used in banking and government systems. Without the correct password, the file cannot be opened and its contents cannot be read. The password is set by the user and is never stored or transmitted by TaoTab. If it is lost, no recovery is possible — by design.

A refined three-tier engine covering 26 essential programming languages, tuned for real public sector risks — AI-generated content, email attachments, IT scripts. Precision over volume: 26 well-tuned languages beat 40 noisy ones.

Presents all text — typed and pasted — in a clean, consistent style, free of invisible formatting carried in from external sources. Useful when content has passed through multiple systems or email clients before reaching you. Enable once; everything entered into that section follows automatically.

Section backgrounds and text colours adjust independently per section and persist with the session — supporting colour-coded workflows across cases or document types. Auto Scroll moves any section at a steady pace for hands-free reading of long referrals or reports, reversing automatically on demand.

Mark any two sections and run a detailed side-by-side analysis to see exactly what has changed between them — what was added, removed, or altered — presented in plain English with no technical detail. Useful for checking whether a forwarded referral has been modified, reviewing two drafts, or comparing a document against an earlier version. An optional accuracy pass silently removes invisible characters and lookalike letters before the comparison runs, so two documents that appear identical to the eye compare correctly even if hidden differences exist within them.
