It’s been used for qualitative research, social media conversation analysis, legal document review, digital humanities, and more. 

 
Overview can be run via the web interface (max 200 000 documents) or downloaded and installed. The system can import documents in PDF or CSV format and currently supports analysis in 9 languages. The code is open source and there is a plugin API to extend Overview's analysis and visualization capability.
