We found the records in this story using @OverviewProject, which I heard about on the audio recording of an IRE conference session where Jack Gillum discussed using Overview for massive document dumps. Thank you to @IRE_NICAR and @jackgillum. on-ajc.com/2NnDZIW

Busy weekend for Overview! If it looks like your upload isn't processing, give it an hour or two -- lots of big OCR jobs running right now, but the server is getting through it.

@JimHaddadin @metrowestdaily Amazing story! And we love it when our users tell us about their work. How many pages did you start with? What was most useful to you in Overview?

Some background on this piece from Sunday's @metrowestdaily: We scraped tens of thousands of electronic records to investigate a city worker's private law firm, using #python and @overviewproject to piece together his work history. #ddj #textmining metrowestdailynews.com/news/20180624/…

If you're writing text analysis software for digital humanities or computational social science or NLP or whatever, you can use Overview as your UI / file importer / annotation system by putting your code in a plugin github.com/overview/overv…

We had some recent import bugs — you may have seen error #137 when uploading certain files — but we think they’re fixed now. If you were having problems, please retry.

If you're worried about uploading your documents to a server you don't control, it's easy to run Overview on your own computer. github.com/overview/overv…

We are in need of PST files for testing. If you've got one you can share (we will keep it private) we would be very grateful -- on behalf of the whole investigative journalist community.

FIXED! We had a problem with jobs backing up for the last few days, and just kicked over the server. We apologize for the delay -- please check back to see if your upload is done.

@_tallison Switched PDF libraries. PDFBox took too much startup time, PDFium doesn't. We have to start new for each document, for stability (some docs crash.)

Today on overviewdocs.com, PDF import speed is now 5x faster. Enjoy. (This is without OCR, but OCR import will be faster too.)

OOH EXCITING. We have found a way to increase PDF import speed (non-OCR) by at least 10x! Coming soon to overviewdocs.com and overview-local.

AT LONG LAST! Overview is getting proper multi-user sharing and collaboration. Let multiple people search, annotate, and tag your document set. Coming soon.
