overview-server
Overview lets you search and understand your documents.
It will bulk-ingest many document formats such as Office documents, PDFs,
plain-text files and email archives. You can organize your uploads into
Document Sets.
Overview provides search, visualization, analysis and collaboration tools.
And it also supports an ecosystem of "plugins" that give new ways to look
at your files.
Overview is designed for investigative journalism, legal analyses,
e-discovery and text-heavy research projects.

Compared to others
Got documents? Maybe we're the right tool; maybe we aren't. Here's how
we compare to the other services vying for your attention.
- Windows, Mac OS and Linux have built-in tools that let you search a folder
full of PDFs. Overview's interface lets you read the same files faster. It
also converts images and Office documents to PDF. - Google Docs, Microsoft Office and Adobe
DocumentCloud you search documents (and they can even convert images to
text,
like Overview). But Overview is far, far faster at flipping between documents. - DocumentCloud.org is perfect for publishing
documents on news websites. It also has rudimentary search tools. Overview
has more advanced
Search
features, and it's faster at flipping through hundreds, thousands or millions
of documents.
