Overview can now read most file formats directly by Jonathan Stray.

From the post:

Previously, Overview could only read PDF files. (You can also import all documents in a single CSV file, or import a project from DocumentCloud.)

Starting today, you can directly upload documents in a wide variety of file formats. Simply add the files — or entire folders — using the usual file upload page.

Overview will automatically detect the file type and extract the text. Your document will be displayed as a PDF in your browser when you view it. Overview supports a wide variety of formats, including:

  • PDF
  • HTML
  • Microsoft Word (.doc and .docx)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt and .pptx)
  • plain text, and also rich text (.rtf)

For a full list, see the file formats that LibreOffice can read.

This is good news!

Pass it on!
