An easy to use GUI for the deidentify command-line program, which is used to substitute a person's given name and/or surname along with any gender specific pronouns.

• If you see any possible misses in the Status bar, you will need to:
• • Click Debug which will open the log file in your web browser
• • Scroll to the bottom and review the possible_misses section

1. First, install the deidentify command-line program

• • Make sure you can successfully run this Python script from the command-line and get good results
• • Since Python 3.9.x was used to create the Python Virtual Enviornment, you, therefore, might want to use this version.

2. Unzip a deidentify-gui release such that these file reside in the same directory as the deidentify Python scripts
3. You may need to edit deidentify_launcher.bat:

• • Update the VIRTUAL_ENV to the full path to deidentify
• • You may also need to update the batch file to give the full path to deidentify-gui.exe

4. Create a desktop shortcut to deidentify_launcher.bat

• • Set the Start In location to the same directory as the deidentify Python scripts

• installed Python 3.9.x
• installed deidentify into: c:\work\deidentify
• unzipped a deidentify-gui release into: c:\work\deidentify
• edited deidentify_launcher.bat:
• • set VIRTUAL_ENV to: c:\work\deidentify
• • set exe path to: start c:\work\deidentify\deidentify-gui.exe
• Created a desktop shortcut to deidentify_launcher.bat with the Start In location set to: c:\work\deidentify
