"We saw that from each testimony we could get between six or seven names with full details that we could put automatically into our database, and around 10% of the names that we found we had already in our database, but 90% are new names that we didn't know about."

Fuxbrumer said 1,500 new names had been added, and many more were expected in the coming weeks, when the system is used on all 30,000 testimonies. The next phase of the trial will cover diaries.
