Highlighting works for native PDFs and files Pinpoint converted to PDFs: When you run keyword searches, Pinpoint highlights hits.

Emails (.EML) and email archives (.MBOX).

Pinpoint OCRs and enables keyword search and entity filtering for these file types: Searching John Podesta’s email for “Hillary Clinton” turned up documents that only contained the initials, “HRC.” Whoa! A search for “victory” hit on documents with the term “winning,” and Pinpoint found those hits within images deployed in a PowerPoint presentation. Pinpoint automatically searches for spelling variants and synonymous terms, though you can restrict searches to exact matches using quotation marks. I expected a Google product to be adept at search, but WOW! Pinpoint’s AI proved a powerful adjunct to human exploration.

The attachments uploaded, images were OCR’ed and audio files were transcribed! Even handwritten items were converted to searchable text! What? WHAT!

I quickly realized that Pinpoint hadn’t processed email attachments, so I grabbed the native attachments and pointed Pinpoint to them. Within minutes, Google converted the emails to PDFs and ran optical character recognition (OCR) against embedded imagery.

I’ve decried the absence of low-cost eDiscovery tools since Edison recorded sound. Something simple that lets lawyers see and search electronic evidence without spending a bunch of money.

What this country needs is a really low cost e-discovery platform. Marshall’s name at all, it is only as the man who reportedly said, “ What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar.” Marshall would go on to be Vice President of the United States under Woodrow Wilson yet, if you know Thomas R. “Aught eight” was also the year another lawyer, William Howard Taft, became President of the United States and still another lawyer, Thomas Riley Marshall, became Governor of Indiana. To be clear, dad probably wasn’t born a lawyer yet everything about him supported the conclusion that he sprang from the womb clutching a Harvard Law degree. That was the year my lawyer father, Herbert Ball, was born–113 years ago tomorrow. Like most, I mark time in milestones, and a milestone year for me is 1908.
