naps2 VS AutoHotkey

If you have a HP Printer there is scanning software program (Free and Open source) called Not Another PDF Scanner. https://www.naps2.com/ It's simple to use and works really good with HP printers unlike the software that comes with the printers. Everyone who wants to scan with a HP printers needs this software.

Brother DCP-L2550DW here. One of the cheapest b/w multifunction devices with automatic document feeder and reasonable print and scan performance. Works like a charm on Linux, Windows, Android, and IOS.

I am using it with [NAPS2](https://www.naps2.com/), which is brilliantly simple, multi-platform, free, and open-source.

If you want to add page, remove page, split, merge, reorder, re-orient all or individual pages, ... May I recommend the glorious NAPS2 [1] ?

It's meant as a scanning tool but works just fine without scanning just drag and drop a pdf on it.

It doesn't do in-page editing or annotation, it's "one layer above" that.

Tips: For PDF management/splitting/rotation/cropping ect before import: NAPS2 is a good tool (Windows, Linux, Mac). It also support ocr (same as paperless-ngx use) https://www.naps2.com/

To scan to image files, use the included Windows Fax & Scan app. To scan to PDF files, use NAPS2.

The software I use is: https://www.naps2.com/

If you are on windows this can scan and OCR using tesseract. https://www.naps2.com/

Try https://www.naps2.com/ It has Arabic support. Once installed with OCR settings, if you drap pdf onto app, it does OCR.

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
