# PII real-time analysis (Console)
<a name="realtime-pii-console"></a>

You can use the console to run PII real-time detection of a text document. The maximum text size is 100 kilobytes of UTF-8 encoded characters. The console displays the results so that you can review the analysis.

**Run PII detection real-time analysis using the built-in model**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Comprehend console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/comprehend/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/comprehend/)

1. From the left menu, choose **Real-time analysis**.

1. Under **Input type**, choose **Built-in** for **Analysis type**. 

1. Enter the text you want to analyze. 

1. Choose **Analyze**. The console displays the text analysis results in the **Insights** panel. The **PII** tab lists the PII entities detected in your input text. 

In the **Insights** panel, the **PII** tab displays results for two analysis modes: 
+ **Offsets** – identifies the location of PII in the text document.
+ **Labels** – identifies the labels of identified PII entity types.
