True redaction removes the text and images from the file — not a black box on top. Plus real in-place text editing, fill + sign, reorder pages, and OCR.
LaunchEdit text in place, sign, redact, fill forms, and reorganize PDF files in your browser — all on your device. No upload, no subscription.
Drop two versions of a contract or drawing set. Moved notes read as moves, changed values light up digit by digit, and hidden text is named.
LaunchSide-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Drop a Gerber ZIP, an ODB++ .tgz or an IPC-2581 .xml and inspect every layer — compare revisions, snap-to-pad measure, run DRC and preview the board in 3D.
LaunchOpen Gerber, Excellon, ODB++ and IPC-2581 PCB files. Inspect layers, measure traces, run DRC, export to PNG / SVG / DXF.
Open a .step / .stp part and it measures itself: volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercuts on load, and a hole list with a BOM in one click. Measure, section, export STL.

Soy and legumes from Nagaland, India
Axone is the fermented soybean of Nagaland. Boiled soybeans are wrapped in banana or Stachyphrynium leaves and kept above the fireplace for about a week, where Bacillus bacteria turn them sticky and pungent. The beans are used fresh or kept for some weeks, and are best known cooked with smoked pork.

Axone is the fermented soybean of Nagaland. Boiled soybeans are wrapped in banana or Stachyphrynium leaves and kept above the fireplace for about a week, where Bacillus bacteria turn them sticky and pungent. The beans are used fresh or kept for some weeks, and are best known cooked with smoked pork. Made in 4 steps over 7 days. The longest step, wrap in leaves and ferment above the fireplace, takes 7 days (Vikram R 2026). Bacillus subtilis, ubiquitous in the three soybean ferments studied and Bacillus coagulans, the major bacterium in axone samples in one study do most of the fermenting.

Axone is a Bacillus-fermented soybean like kinema and hawaijar. In the recipes recorded at the Hornbill Festival it is cooked with smoked meat [vikram2026].
Spontaneously fermented soybean packed in tree leaves can carry pathogens. A 2026 investigation of an outbreak in Mizoram found atypical enteropathogenic E. coli in all 40 patients and in one of two leftover food samples. All 40 ate bekang, a related fermented soybean, from one vendor, who wrapped it in unwashed forest leaves. The authors call this a strong correlation and note a small sample and no strain typing. Bekang is not axone.
Hazards the sources name: Atypical enteropathogenic E. coli, found in one food sample of bekang, a related fermented soybean wrapped in tree leaves, in a 2024 Mizoram outbreak (not axone).
Every number is labelled with how it is known. How this atlas is made
Axone is made by many Naga tribes, most notably the Sümi [wp-akhuni]. Recipes recorded at the Hornbill Festival in 2023–2025 include smoked pork with axone (Sümi) and galho (Angami) [vikram2026].
