Welcome to the DiscoverText User Support Center
DiscoverText allows users to import, search, filter, classify and analyze electronically stored information (ESI) collected from e-mail, spreadsheets, document repositories, FDMS bulk downloads, and social media sites (such as blogs, YouTube, Facebook & Twitter) via RSS and XML. This DiscoverText User Support Center will orient you to the site, help you set up a free account, and get you started on your first project.
