What it does

Black-boxed a name in a PDF and hit save? The text is usually still there. Tamperlens reads the file's paint order and tells you whether a redaction removed the text or just covered it — free, no signup, and the file is parsed in memory, never stored. Behind it: an API that reports structural fraud signals on PDFs, with evidence and the benign explanation for each. Signals, never verdicts.

Know if a bank statement, payslip or proof of address was edited before you act on it. Free document fraud-signal check, and nothing is ever stored.

Forensic fraud signals for statements, payslips and proofs of address, for lenders, landlords, insurers and KYC teams. Three fictional utility statements, precomputed, no upload, no quota. Have the original? Compare the two directly . The strongest check there is. blocks are code, not reading copy: prose-lint blanks them and the word-budget counter skips them, the same treatment /api's own budget gives its curls. --> See it as an API call curl -s https://tamperlens.com/api/v1/inspect -F [email protected] { "summary": { "riskScore": 95, "riskBand": "high", "signalCount": 2 }, "signals": [ { "id": "incremental-updates", "severity": "high", "title": "…", "evidence": {…} } ] } No key, no…from tamperlens.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
