  • Paperless

    Discontinued Scan, index, and archive all of your paper documents

    • You could try something like https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless

  • OCRmyPDF

    OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched

    • https://github.com/stweiss/FileBasedMiniDMS

    I tried both Mayan and Paperless (regular) myself to replace my Evernote Premium setup, they haven't convinced me yet.

    I am currently trying out https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF myself (had to fork it to add my own language to the Dockerfile) and then will either let my NAS index it afterwards or Dropbox/Nextcloud maybe. Apparently locally they get indexed very well with either Gnome (Linux) or Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows).
