Evernote.
I use Swiftscan Pro on iOS to take pics of receipts or single page documents. It OCRs and pushes them into Evernote.
I use PDFPen Pro on Mac to OCR longer documents scanned in using the office scannner/printer. This is triggered when I drop a file into a monitored folder. My applescript fires PDFPen, performs OCR and then imports into Evernote.
I have another monitored folder to import PDFs that don't require OCR (just import into Evernote)
And lastly if I get an email with a PDF attachment, I forward it to my special Evernote email address where it's automatically imported.
The main reason I haven't moved away from Evernote is because I want access to my files on all my devices and at any possible moment, and I want the service I use to outlive me. Evernote so far hasn't failed on either of these promises (though the latter does possibly worry me)
- luckman212 6y ago> I want the service I use to outlive me Not sure how old you are, but Evernote's been languishing badly over the last 5 years. I don't expect them to be around much longer. So many better options have popped up this past year- Obsidian, Craft, Archivy, Joplin, Notion, Roam... the list just keeps growing. While 2020 certainly goes down as one of the worst years humanity has faced, it's been something of a golden age for PKM apps.
