Trash PaNDA is a tool to mask text from your images using SixLabors' ImageSharp and Microsoft's Computer Vision API.
Think of it as an automated redaction tool - just like you see with the odd Government report or statement.
I initially designed it to be used to mask client names from screenshots of my code and tool windows, to comply with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
