Press Release November 4, 2010 DiscoverText: Easy-to-Use eDiscovery Software Studying Facebook Gets Easier AMHERST, MA - Texifter, LLC announces the launch of DiscoverText, a next generation Web-based text analysis software application. DiscoverText increases users’ ability to reveal and use information previously buried in email archives, social media content, and other large electronic document collections. DiscoverText is the first easy-to-use, Web-based, crowd-sourcing platform that enables researchers to login using Facebook credentials (the “Open Graph” API) to immediately archive, search, and intelligently classify thousands of posts and comments on Facebook. Inferences gleaned via DiscoverText can be used to diagnose customer complaints about products and services or to identify new avenues for innovation. According to Vivek Bhaskaran, CEO of Survey Analytics, DiscoverText “has the power to dramatically transform the text analytics marketplace.” Stuart Shulman, the CEO of Texifter, argues researchers (government, medical, legal, market, and academic) can benefit from the powerful collaborative tools and work flow delivered by DiscoverText. “Our software allows legal researchers to quickly search and organize pages of legal documents; marketing firms can more effectively use consumer information to position products; medical and pharmaceutical companies can better hear the natural voice of patients; and government agencies can sort, read, and rapidly respond to FOIA requests or public comments, even when they number in the hundreds of thousands of pages.” DiscoverText allows users to extract specific information from large volumes of text documents, such as email archives. Users can also merge previously dispersed and unconnected data from a range of electronic sources, such as public posts on Facebook and other social media sites, generic RSS blog and news feeds, Twitter tweets, emails, PDFs, Microsoft Office documents and open-ended survey responses. Unlike many existing text analytics software packages, DiscoverText is a completely Web-based cloud computing platform. There is no software to install. With a full-featured 30-day free trial, anyone can log in and start to discover the text that is most important to them. Users either securely upload files to DiscoverText or transfer them via a robust and extensible application programming interface (API). Once ingested, documents go through a semi-automated, human in-the-loop process. DiscoverText can remove duplicates, identify near-duplicates, cluster similar items, generate tag clouds, and speed the redaction of sensitive, confidential, classified, or potentially offensive information before circulating or posting. This process helps users organize information for further analysis, creates value from previously unknown insights, and saves hours of monotonous eDiscovery work.
