About

Sorting documents is a machine's job. Paperwork is an easy-to-use application which allows you to find in all your documents when you need them. Type a few keywords in the search bar and the list of papers will shrink to only the relevant content.

This is where the magic happens: Paperwork uses automatically optical character recognition (OCR) to convert your papers into searchable documents.

Main features are:

  • Scanner support
  • PDF support
  • Automatic detection of page orientation
  • OCR
  • Document labels
  • Automatic guessing of the labels to apply on new documents
  • Search
  • Keyword suggestions
  • Quick edit of scans
