Comment on Papra, the minimalistic document archiving platform

At least for paperless, one of the selling points is OCR plus text search. Do you can dump in all your receipts as photos, and then 3 years later, search “lawnmower” and find the receipt for it. (I dont know if this applies for this software, but its very nice in paperless)

Damn I’ve gotta set up one of these, whether it be this one or paperless. The text recognition in photos would be huge.

  Just to lightly temper your expectations, the OCR isnt perfect, and you may need to add your own tags/text, but its still an awesome system.

So basically gmail’s motto: “search, dont sort”

  Not necessarily, paperless offers various sorting and cataloguing mechanisms, as well as rules and basic learning. If you spend time setting it all up, it should drive itself in time and search may only be a fallback mechanism.
