At one point I was using Evernote combined with a Fujitsu Scanner to scan in all my paperwork and Evernote would automatically OCR the scans and make it easy for me to search for this later. Evernote is a commercial offering.
Does this provide similar or better yet, better functionality?
If I scan my days mail in one go.. say water bills, property expenses etc in one batch.. will this then sort the water bill from the telephone bill in what is saved?
Ps. Bills contrived for illustration I receive much more of this online these days but still paperwork abounds.
- tenebrisalietum 5y agoYes. It uses tesseract for OCR and gathers the OCR text and puts it in a database, and you can then search. So if you enter something you know is on the water bill then it'll come up in the search, such as the name of the water company. I've never used Evernote so I'm not sure it's better but I had no problem finding stuff so far. Also you can tag documents and search by tag so you have that too. Paperless kicks ass.
