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:
- 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!
