+1 for this question, especially if the folks here know anything about a decent document management system that's both cross-platform and made for home users. The scanner is the eaisest part of the discussion.
- Jaruzel 8y agoTotally agree. I've a 50 sheet, dual sided document scanner sitting in a box doing nothing simply because I can't settle on a nice system that silently takes the scanned TIFFs or PDFs, OCRs them, builds a DB and surfaces the whole lot in a web GUI for searching. There's plenty of Enterprise grade Document indexing systems out there, but they all cost 10x as much as I'm willing to pay. What I can't find is a FOSS or even cheap commercial software that does all of the above.
- tga 8y agoIf you can live with some manual work and no OCR, the digital version of a filing cabinet is scanning everything as (multi-page) PDFs and naming the files like "2018-07-24 #invoice #ACME #business.pdf". Then you can easily find the right document with just Spotlight or similar. Fully cross platform and likely to be readable by any device now and in the future.
