  • paperless-ngx

  • https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx would certainly be no bad option.

  • gImageReader

    A Gtk/Qt front-end to tesseract-ocr.

  • On tesseract base here is a software to make a scan a text searchable pdf. It take a bit of time and can be a bit tedious but it does the work! https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader/releases It does not work well on cursive writing of course. It's a bit less heavy code sided solution. Good luck!
